Imminent FED Rescue

Ian Reynolds — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:59:29 GMT

London | Brisbane. 20 April 2026.

“Former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, called on US authorities to prepare a back-up plan to avert a potential collapse in demand for Treasuries.“ Bloomberg’s words.

Hank Paulson was Treasury Secretary during the GFC. He knows a few war stories. After a decade of flying under the radar he suddenly pops up on the world’s most trusted reporting platform to prepare the way for extreme measures to try to save the US.

Specifically the insane levels of debt must somehow be allowed to grow by issuing more, whilst a bigger plan is formulated for a global financial reset. And the plan must be ready to go now.

And here comes Kevin Warsh, Trump’s nomination for FOMC Governor and Chair, his Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. Jerome Powell’s term as Chair ends on May 15, 2026. In an emergency, which they clearly think is right around the corner, the buyer of last resort is the FED. They’d better have the right FED in place when it happens.

In Europe, the EU has finally got rid of Orban and can move forward with defending Ukraine against Russia, and getting Sweden and Finland into NATO. It’s a big step forward but there still doesn’t seem to be anyone to lead the EU into becoming a European state, the biggest economy in the world.

The Great Distraction

Ian Reynolds — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 17:21:48 GMT

London | Brisbane. 13 April 2026.

2 weeks of peace talks sets the scene for markets to rally and good will to pervade to all mankind. But behind the scenes the US is in its usual state of panic. Melania publicly denying what everybody knows to be true, her relationship with Epstein portends a major revelation.

Economically inflation is picking up globally, even in China, and employment is teetering on the abyss. AI isn’t just taking our job in the future, it’s taking jobs in AI companies now.

Trump’s inescapable issue is not Iran, China, Russia, Oil. It’s the Federal Reserve. Minutes from 8 April before Thursday and Friday’s elevated PCE and CPI numbers reveal that many participants still expect rate cuts eventually if inflation moves down as projected. However, some officials supported language that would keep the door open to rate hikes if inflation stays stubbornly high (“two-sided” risk description) and the balance of risks are upside for inflation and downside for employment. Both are elevated, largely due to Middle East developments.

With US GDP for Q4 coming in at a mere 0.5% QoQ for the 4th quarter 2026, the risk of stagflation is glaringly obvious. And rates won’t be coming down anytime soon.

A defeat for Orban in Hungary’s election this weekend would bring about a better coherence in the EU and could well be the start of the bloc becoming a state. Trump would be horrified.

Time to Man Up

Ian Reynolds — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:22:43 GMT

London | Brisbane. 7 April 2026.

Despite the continual headlines and deadlines, there is no momentum towards de-escalation and Trump has dragged the world into a conflict involving nuclear accidents and possibly kinetic nuclear actions.

Trump’s derangement truly knows no bounds. His social media posts reflect the true man and that’s of concern to every world citizen. He will soon find out why Hitler couldn’t win WW2 by fighting on more than one front. Trump will soon be fighting on many physical and financial fronts and being confronted by a possible civil war.

Europe has already started to prepare. The media reports that France has repatriated the remainder of its gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This is not strictly true, France has sold their gold held in NY and bought a similar amount in a more fungible form to store locally. Nevertheless, this is a crucial decision and shows that Europe is, at least, preparing to de-risk Trump. Rhymes with 1971’s similar action.

Debt and currency debasement have sunk all human empires. We’re at that point now. Investors should take cover, but holding cash as all fiat currencies collapse is not the way to do it. Having no debt is key. Owning your own house, without mortgage, is good but values will be volatile and governments will tax it unrelentingly. Owning non-sovereign assets is critical.

The only certainties in life are death and taxes: add capital markets hating uncertainty.

With Brent Crude now trading at $110, US$10 below its high and 60% above where it was a month ago, all eyes are on inflation and supply disruptions

Markets continue to fall. US equities are now off 10% from the highs, US 10 year bond yields have risen 50bps, private credit gatings abound and now Bitcoin has started to fall.

As Gold has seen a lot of selling after a parabolic move earlier in the year, so did Bitcoin become the (temporary) safe haven but now flows are coming back into Gold and Bitcoin is moving back down again.

The USD rose as Gold sold off with some regarding it as a safe move. US treasuries selling off would seem to negate that theory.

Trump has managed to drag the UAE into the Iran conflict and now Iraq and Kuwait are getting involved. The UK and France are aiding the US with access to landing and refuelling points.

Risk-off is the current framework. Eventually it will all come down in a crash.

On The Cusp of Economic Disaster

Ian Reynolds — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:40:37 GMT

London | Brisbane. 23rd March 2026.

Trump’s ill thought-out Iran mission has hiked oil and, more importantly, gas prices globally resulting in a change of strategy for central banks. What was a cutting bias, is now a hiking bias. Exactly the last thing the US Administration wanted.

And amazingly, Powell is now firmly in charge of the US rates narrative as Trump’s bungling reveals the true competence deficiency behind all the bluster and bravado.

Bond yields have risen sharply as real and perceived inflation pressures are now firmly in policy mindset. Gold, Silver and equities have been hammered as investors seek liquidity.

The USD has appreciated as investors raise cash to cover potential margin calls, but not that much. The USD has risen 4% but Gold has lost 20% in the last few weeks.

What is a crisis for world peace now, could easily spill into a crisis for the USD. It’s at a pivotal point. If Trump and Bessent can’t get their act together, a really big change in global asset values is on its way.

And US Government debt just hit US$39,000,000,000,000.

Up In Flames

Ian Reynolds — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 02:53:25 GMT

London | Brisbane. 9th March 2025.

Trump’s ill-considered and rushed war with Iran is spiralling out of control. And the collateral damage is surprising. The UAE has spent decades trying to be the new western banking and finance hub, but that story is now over. There is a very good reason why countries store their gold at the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Vast oceans.

With Brent Futures hitting US$111 per barrel it looks like stock markets will be hit hardest with crypto barely moving. Who would have thought!

Equally currencies are all over the place. The USD is higher but capped by strong resistance. For those that believe that manipulated markets create havoc, here’s a good example:

The Swiss National Bank wants to sell CHF and buy USD. The Bank of Japan wants to buy YEN and sell USD.

Gold and Silver are lower as a stock market crash beckons.The entity that engineered gold and silver prices lower, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have just announced the same for oil. Margins increased today on oil products and decreased on gold and silver. Everyone benefits from a higher gold price, but no one benefits from a higher oil price.

Where does capital go when capital reallocation is forced? Typically back to where it came from.

A Pivotal Moment

Ian Reynolds — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 03:18:27 GMT

London | Brisbane. 2nd March 2025.

Iran played into Trump’s hands by attacking many different countries. They lost the advantage of the UK/EU’s refusal to be part of the plot, and now have put themselves in a minority of 1.

Trump needs to get this war over as the US can’t afford another Vietnam. Actually they can’t even afford a Falklands War

One man alone seemingly, at least from a legislative perspective, decided to remove another country’s leader, and literally no-one’s opinion was asked, at least not in the US.

Trump got away with Venezuela and now it looks like he’s going to get away with Iran. Americans should be worried, but they’re not, but many leaders/countries in the world will be reviewing their situations.

With a knee-jerk reaction (Oil and Gold up, USD and UST bid), markets surprised no-one but the underlying narrative is deeply negative. Private equity/credit is blowing up, CRE drawdowns are now regularly more than 80% and debt is out of control. Despite US PPI, disinflation could be on the cards soon.

What better way to deflect citizens’ focus away from the economy, than by having a war which we win!. God knows how the Peace Board is going to react.
