Trump just gave Jerome Powell his marching orders.

As we’ve noted over the previous weeks, the Powell Fed screwed up royally in June when it forecast five additional rate hikes over the next 12 months along with an accelerated pace of Quantitative Tightening (QT) at $40 billion per month.

I want to be clear: it is not that rate hikes or QT in of themselves are a problem, it is the PACE at which the Powell Fed proposed to do both.

The Fed doesn’t operate in vacuum, and hiking rates EIGHT times while draining an amount of liquidity equal to Sweden’s GDP is totally insane when you’ve got other Central Banks (most notably the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank) running NEGATIVE rates and QE.

Put simply, the Powell Fed was WAY too aggressive with its monetary policy. And the end result was the $USD was strengthening rapidly which was putting the financial system under duress (remember, when you borrow in $USD you are effectively shortingthe $USD so the over $65 TRILLION in $USD-denominated debt floating around the global system was like a gigantic debt bomb for which a strong $USD was a lit match).

Enter President Trump’s twitter tirade against the Fed and other Central Banks last week.

On Friday, President Trump took to twitter attacking the Powell Fed’s aggressive tightening before shifting his focus to China and the European Union, claiming the two were “manipulating their currencies and interest rates lower.”

The message is now clear… the Trump White House wants the $USD to fall and fall hard. And the markets have taken note: the $USD rolled over HARD on Friday, starting the right shoulder of a Head and Shoulders topping formation.

This is just the start. We believe the $USD is now starting the process through which it will eventually drop to the low 80s to test the upper trendline of the massive falling wedge it has formed over the last 40 years.

This represents the BIGGEST trend in global finance going forward. As the reserve currency of the world, the $USD's price action will have a massive impact on all other asset classes. And those who invest accordingly stand to generate literal fortunes.

On that note, we recently published a special investment report on how to profit from inflation. The report is titled Survive the Inflationary Storm . And it explains in very simply terms how to make inflation PAY YOU.

We are making just 100 copies available to the public.
