Japan's government says it may "intervene" before the Japanese Yen to US Dollar ratio reaches 160. Over the last 2 months, the Yen has gone from 145 to 157 as a $110B+ stimulus package is coming. We are ~2% away from "intervention."

The end of the shutdown should be pulling gold prices down because it reduces odds of recession and pushes real rates up. That isn't happening. Gold prices are rising again on headlines the shutdown will soon be over. This should give all those debt aficionados - especially across Europe - pause...

Japan is in a debt crisis. When the BoJ allows yields to rise, the Yen stabilizes, but rising yields make Japan's debt burden unaffordable. When the BoJ caps yields, the Yen weakens, threatening another devaluation spiral like in 2022-2024. No good options.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
