Force majeure becoming the norm in commodities and derivatives markets, which means higher prices and more social unrest

July 30, 2023 -

Reuters picked up the story and reported that a union strike at Newmont's Peñasquito mine in Mexico is limiting delivery on some of the mine's products – except that report failed to mention silver as one of the metals that Newmont is failing to deliver to customers.

Global debt markets are BREAKING – pension collapse in England, govt. debt FAIL in Japan, while some bonds see 75% losses so far in 2022

October 12, 2022 -

Because bond values have an inverse relationship with interest rates, as interest rates go up, the value of bonds and other debt instruments already issued goes down. With each Fed rate increase, bond values are cratering, leaving debt investors holding substantial losses and leading to a collapse in the number of potential buyers even willing to take possession of these bonds.

As investor Larry McDonald says in this Marketwatch article, "things are breaking." From the ...

There’s nothing the central planners can do to fix it.  No plans or schemes will get the tired jalopy to fire on all cylinders.  A blown head gasket is replaced and the very next day the spark plugs are fried.  Replace those and a piston ring blows.

At some point, it’s beyond salvage.  The only sensible choice left is to scrap the old buggy at the junk yard.

Similarly, scrapping the central planners ...

March 15, 2023 -

(Article by Jeffrey A. Tucker republished from TheEpochTimes.com)

The failure of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), with $212 billion in assets until only recently, is a huge mess and a possible foreshadowing.
