So you have "technically bankrupt" wallstreet banks (bankrupted without FED repo operations) trying to get out of their own mess by playing a commodity boom. Great.
Add to that mix recent devalution of USD by FED monetary policy, causing everyone and his gradmma speculate in hard assets like oil and food....
Of course there are supply problems too, but when you add to the mix speculation, it makes things only worse.
By the way, Central Eurobank head told it few weeks ago: "to cut interest rates at this point would be the same as taxing the people to bail out the banks. Cost of extra inflation would be the ultimate sign of moral hazard to save banks." |
everyone will ignore our posts about the fed because they still believe its "supply and demand" "peak oil" "the war in Iraq" "the evil oil companies" because it is far better to think that then the reality that the USA is about to be bankrupt if there is not a drastic change.
