His predictions:
1. Bond look like a bubble. The parabolic action in the bond market is indicative of moves that happen near the end of a major move upward.
2. The bursting of the Super Bubble mean fund will not flow as fast into United states. The US abused its position as the world's reverse currency with the super bubble system. However, funds will not flow at fast in the coming years and instead will flow into other parts of the world. As the US becomes increasingly indebted, foreigners will shy away from US debt. The US will have to print money to buy this debt. This will devalue the dollar and cause inflation
3. The US will have to print money because of the makeup of the debt. The markup of the debt is very negative for th US. Most of the debt is short term in nature (<5 ears). This means it will have to print money like crazy over a short period of time to pay it off.
4. Interest rate will spike and the US bond bubble will burst. As inflation soars and the dollar declines, interest rate on the long end of the curve will have to rise to reflect these trends. The 27-year bond bull market probably ended in 2008 and has not yet entered a major bear market. This means much higher interest going forward. The law of supply and demand states that as supply outstrips demand, investors will require higher interest rate to sustain any desire in invesing in US bond.
thanks for sharing.
Yes, I also think that these are likely scenario.
However, as the Author (Song Hong Bing) of Currency War speculated, actually U.S. government knows these are the possible scenario but still went ahead anyway, as when US$ falls, its debt burden actually falls...since U.S debt is denominated in US Dollars, not Renminbi (China is the Largest Creditor) or Yen (Japan is the 2nd Largest Creditor of U.S.).
