I have never seen anything like this before.With the stroke of the Census Bureau’s pen, more than 5% of retail sales…disappeared. Five.Not a single volatile category. Not some tiny seasonal adjustment. One-twentieth of the entire retail-sales universe—consumer spending on goods and some services—was erased from the data going all the way back to 2022.Gone.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Everyone thinks the private-credit “crisis” is contained.Bank officials say the financial system remains resilient. Central bankers barely mention private credit. And when the mainstream media covers the subject, the story is usually reduced to investor withdrawals from a handful of isolated funds.And then we’re told the underlying loans are still performing, so there’s nothing broader to worry about.But that story is *badly* out of date.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

American consumers just did two things that you might think are completely incompatible.In August, they cut revolving credit at the same time, consumers added a huge amount of non-revolving credit. So households backed away from credit cards while splurging on installment debt. How can consumers be terrified of borrowing and eager to borrow at exactly the same time?Because these aren’t contradictory behaviors.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisJoin my FREE webinar October 29 at 6 PM ET to learn which warning signs to watch, and what they could mean for your portfolio.

Jamie Dimon just issued another warning about interest rates. JPMorgan's CEO says there is a risk inflation remains sticky—and that interest rates go up from here. That sounds like caution about staying away from Treasury bonds. But Jamie Dimon’s prediction isn’t necessarily what you think.Because, right now, the bond market may be approaching a turning point and Dimon's comments fit right in with it.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Jobs report for September completely reverses August's. The ugly headline is only the start given the vastly more important implications which connect jobs to incomes and then everything else from the Fed, bond yields and the inflation debate, which the data shows isn't one. But why do officials hold out anyway? The numbers answer that question, too.

You would think this would be McDonald’s moment. When household budgets are under pressure, when consumers are trading down, and when price suddenly means everything, McDonald’s should be thriving. It's not. This isn’t happening in isolation. Consumer confidence plunged – and I mean plunged - in September to its lowest level since 2014—and that’s according to the Conference Board, typically the most optimistic of the major confidence surveys.

The cuts were supposed to revive demand after prices for some bags of chips climbed above seven dollars. But they didn’t work. In July, the company admitted consumers were under even more strain than expected.Now Pepsi is trapped.

India just attracted an extraordinary amount of foreign money into its banking system. And yet the rupee is moving back toward its record low. Then there’s Japan. The Bank of Japan just raised its policy rate to the highest since 1995. And yet the yen is approaching 160 per dollar again.So India attracted dollars and the rupee still fell. Japan raised rates and the yen still fell.Meanwhile, China has done almost the opposite. And so has CNY.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That’s exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Private credit defaults have officially reached a record. According to Fitch Ratings, the default rate rose to 6.3% in August, exceeding the previous record set only one month earlier. But the most important number may not be 6.3%. It may be Fitch's 45%. And that reveals the bigger story, one about liquidity and tightening.
