The fly to heaven this year has only one name: the US dollar. There are no bonds, stocks, commodities holding, the driver of security remains the dollar. Poor and middle income countries have a lot to lose from FED higher rates, and this could be a further weapon of an asymmetric warfare. We believe that we will be able to see parity with the euro much sooner than...

Foreign cargo used to be priced in U.S. dollars (or in the case of gas, euros), but now the ultimate sources of foreign cargo (foreign nations) are changing the form of payment they demand and prefer: Russia is now invoicing its commodity exports to “non-friendly” nations in ruble, not U.S. dollars or euros, and Saudi Arabia is open to China paying for oil in...
More worrying for policymakers than the present inflation, is expectations of where inflation is likely to sit in the future. Both 5- and 10-year breakevens have detached from the FOMC’s 2% price aim which will concern those on the Committee.

The low end of this range could represent an attractive entry level. The breakout...
