Is 1970s Stagflation About to Repeat?

 

  1. The U.S. yield curve inversion suggests the next recession is about 18-24 months away. That recession could mark the start of a long period of stagflation like 1966-1980.
  2. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this long-term bond market chart.
  3. Some gold analysts have noted the H&S top pattern in play, but it’s important to wait for a trend line break before getting too excited.
  4. In the intermediate term, negative rates are the mover for all major markets.
  5. Trump wants the U.S. central bank to “compete” with the ECB and the BOJ, and drive U.S. interest rates lower.
  6. The H&S top on the T-bond chart could be voided by this policy. Horrifically, U.S. commercial banks are responding to the lower rates madness… by selling existing loans rather than issuing new ones. This is one of many recessionary catalysts now in play in America.
  7. A new risk is that banks will go back to engaging in risky market speculation like they did with OTC derivatives in the runup to the 2008 crisis.
  8. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge. It’s all win-win for gold; higher rates will crush the ability of governments to borrow money.
  9. If they can’t borrow, they print, and they could start printing like Germany did in the 1920s.
  10. Lower/negative rates create more incentive for governments to go deeper in debt and that creates institutional interest in gold.
  11. The bottom line: Stagflation is coming, but not until the uptrend line on the long-term T-bond chart snaps.
  12. What’s coming in the meantime could be negative rates in America and vastly more government debt. It’s obvious that Trump isn’t going to stop his crazed deficit spending and tariff tax implementation.
  13. Please click here now. America’s President (who I sometimes refer to as “Super Tariff Tax Man”) wants to implement another blast of tariff taxes just as U.S. Christmas holiday shopping gets underway. That could be the catalyst that turns fading earnings negative for the SP500.
  14. Is President Trump morphing into a tariff tax grinch that is poised to steal Christmas? Sadly, the answer seems to be: yes.
  15. If he loses the 2020 election to the democrats, the potential for stagflation will continue to grow. The democrats have promised tax increases that could crush GDP growth and reduce demand for stock market buybacks and corporate bonds.
  16. The coming recession will likely be mild under a Trump administration, at least initially. Under a democrat administration though, it could quickly morph into an inflationary depression that would be “fixed” with a gargantuan wealth tax.
  17. The money from that wealth tax would soon be wasted by the government and debt would continue to rise.
  18. The bottom line: U.S. government money printing appears imminent regardless of who wins the 2020 election.
  19. Gold is the obvious winner, and likely the only winner, in all scenarios in the intermediate term, and it’s the biggest winner in the long term.
  20. What about gold stocks? Well, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this gold stocks versus gold chart. A breakout from the immense bull wedge formation would likely signal the start of the first major bull market in gold stocks since the 1970s.
  21. That breakout, and the bull market that occurs, would be enhanced by a failure of the trendline on the T-bond chart.
  22. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this spectacular silver chart. As good as this daily chart looks, the long-term charts are my main focus.
  23. On that note, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge. In the 1970s bull run, my biggest holding was silver bullion. The stagflation theme made it the go-to asset.
  24. Is history about to repeat? I think so. Note the excellent overall performance of silver against gold during the 1970s. Singapore dealers are suddenly reporting that investors are buying more silver than gold. My simple advice to investors in the West is: Join them and buy silver bullion now!
