Is anyone else getting nervous? This seems like some sort of global systemic failure.
* The dollar dropped a significant 1% in DXY to its weakest level in four years [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dollar-sinks-lowest-level-four-125854201.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dollar-sinks-lowest-level-four-125854201.html)
* Japanese bonds have been dropping on major sell offs, signally a crisis in the yen [https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/business/economy/40061704](https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/business/economy/40061704)
* Both Japan and USA are tied at the hip financially, and both experiencing sovereign debt issues with massive debt to GDP ratios. Neither wants to high interest under such conditions.
* Strengthening the yen means selling off US treasuries at a time the US can least afford it
* Gold spiked 4% today during Asian trading hours. That's a big move for gold and could be a warning sign
* Add to that Trump chaos and push for easy money fed policies post Jerome Powell, that's further pressure on the US dollar and bond market
Overall it looks like a day of reckoning is coming. Not sure exactly what or when, but it's looking nasty. Any predictions?
