China's 2021 trade surpluses were gigantic, so why isn't the yuan surging too? We review China's 2014-21 trade and currency experience from the perspective of the eurodollar, the international reserve currency that once intermediated trade but now intermediates capital.------EP. 185 TOPICS------00:00 INTRO: Capital flows drive trade, not vice versa.

After Today’s FOMC, Yield Curve Is Already As Flat As It Was In Mar ’18 **Without A Single Rate Hike Yet**https://alhambrapartners.com/2022/01/26/after-todays-fomc-yield-curve-is-already-as-flat-as-it-was-in-mar-18-without-a-single-rate-hike-yet/

Oil prices are up and so you would expect that Treasury Inflation Protected Security breakevens (inflation expectations) are ALSO up... but they are not. Like Bitcoin, TIPS are ignoring oil and focusing on something bigger, something worse?

Retail inventory grew at a tremendous pace month-over-month in December 2021 in America. Overall inventory growth was so strong that it contributed overwhelmingly to a strong (?) increase in US GDP for the Q4. But is this actually good news?

The Eurodollar futures curve inverted in December 2021 - what has it done since? Also, how to interpret the US Treasury yield curve in "three easy steps!" Lastly, did the Fed cause the price of (Buffalo) (chicken) wings to rise?

PART 1: Inflation @ 7% but... PART 2: Bonds Losing Value - Worst in 2 Years! - but... PART 3: Year 15 of Mass Formation Psychosis (We Explain Why) None of the "Mass Formation Psychosis" interviews with Joe Rogan, Chris Martenson, Robert Malone or Mattias Desmet explained WHY and WHEN. In this episode we do: a 15-year (so far) worldwide economic depression, only the third in the past 150 years.

Alan Greenspan warned in 1996 we would not know if stocks were irrational because we could not know how much money was in the economy. Also, wages are rising - just like they did in the Great Depression? Lastly, the October 2021 Treasury International Capital update.

PART 01: The Fed has to taper faster because consumer prices (i.e. motor fuel, automobiles) rose faster than it expected. It didn't have the moxie to stare down the CPI increase and explain why QE (i.e. 'money') had nothing to do with CPI. Maybe they're not really a central (money) bank.PART 02: The US consumer price index increased by 6.8% year-over-year for the month of November. Inflation, right? Undisputed, incontrovertible evidence of inflation! Step right up and watch the amazing Harry Houdini of Macroeconomics escape this box of inflation and call it "not inflation".PART 03: Headline US wholesale inventories AND sales look incredible—Hallelujah! But if we exclude petroleum products? Inventory growth is outpacing sales growth—Humbug! And if we exclude motor vehicle parts and petroleum? Inventory growth is materially ahead of sales growth—Bah Humbug!----EP. 178 REFERENCES----Taper Rejection: https://bit.ly/3maMRFsThe Higher The CPI, The Less For Inflation: https://bit.ly/3p2XZpnSure, Tomorrow the CPI But Future CPI’s In Today’s Inventory?: https://bit.ly/3258EHCAlhambra Investments Blog: https://bit.ly/2VIC2wWlinRealClear Markets Essays: https://bit.ly/38tL5a7-------SHOW SPONSOR-------Macropiece Theater with Emil Kalinowski (a/k/a Alistair Cooke, a/k/a Alistair Cookie) reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.

Lastly, does China's lowering of its bank Required Reserve Ratio buttress the E$ warning too?PART 02: US Job Openings are near record highs, suggesting a rip-roaring economy. But Hires are nowhere near the same heights, suggesting a lousy economy. On the other hand, quits are at record highs, suggesting great opportunities for employees to upgrade. How to reconcile the conflicting signals?PART 03: Gillian Tett writes that the US economy is doing quite well (e.g. goods consumption) but also quite poorly (e.g. consumer sentiment) and asks how to reconcile conflicting signals.
