The Feds research division, the BIS, the ECB, the BoE, the IMF and decades of imperial data show that QE does NOT directly cause consumer inflation. QE is an asset swap and NOT money printing, reserves created during QE do NOT enter the real economy and inflation requires spending and NOT JUST RESERVES. Japan would have hyperinflation because they've been doing this FOR 20 YEARS - that would be the case if you were right. Know your place man, you are not working at a central bank and there is a reason. You get lost in your emotions

Issuing debt inflates the money supply regardless who buys it. The fed (or whoever) merely swaps a non-interest-bearing asset for an interest-bearing one, but that doesn't necessarily create price inflation.

{quote} You too LMAO. Man is agreeing to some NPC repeating "money printer go brrrrrrr", "QE = inflation", "gold proves everything". How come people overrate their knowledge to a point where they geniunely think they know more than a central bank? Yikesssss PAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
I'm not agreeing to anything, I just thought it was funny he was complaining about people in the comments, and then got into a disagreement/battle with someone in the comments.

When it comes to economics/monetary policy, I belong in preschool, and i'll be the first to admit it.

But I certainly dont learn anything from the comments section, hence my desire to turn them off.

"PAHAHAHA"

{quote} Can't talk yourself out if this one when you said you applaud this guys patience. I do respect the fact that you admit to being preschool level when it comes to this topic though, this guy should consider coming to the same conclusion. Being this certain, yet so wrong, is proper madness
I said that because he seemed so certain. Has nothing to do with agreeing.
The only thing I can agree with is the comments section sucks.
But here I am, contributing to absolutely nothing...

All good. Moving on.

As a classic NPC, out of the entire post, you learned nothing.

Buying the debt is inflationary you absolute clown! With what do you buy treasuries? Is it the freshly created money perhaps? Expansion in the money supply? I cannot listen to these fuc'ing idiots anymore... and even more idiotic comments of people that agree because they don't understand shit about anything. Central banks will bury you all under inflation if you don't wake up. If price of gold didn't wake you up or perhaps made you wonder, you're fuc'ing lost beyond saving.

You just said QE (buying the debt) isn't printing money. Do you even have the slightest clue that the Fed creates (out of thin air) new money which is then used to buy the debt across the board to keep the rates supressed and encourage borrowing across the board. When the central bank cuts rates, they get into the debt market and buy the short term debt to lower rates. Do you now understand how it works? QE causes inflation, QE in itself is inflation you Einstein. To inflate, ie. to increase money supply, to create new money. Now understand that you've been taught rubbish for the whole time? As for BoJ and Japanese Yen... you think JPY isn't suffering from high-inflation? You think JPY has been depreciating because of something random?

Hopefully, NPCs will remain in the USD, and the rest of the shit that is losing value. Keep listening to those "smart beyond belief central bank officials" that have a track record so bad it's not even funny. They were in shock and awe when they printed trillions and we had high inflation. They couldn't believe printing trillions is going to have a consequence. Please, keep listening to Powell, as you're losing your wealth by staying in the USD or whatever the shit it is. All-wise central bank officials that are always surprised and always blame something else for their miserable choices on monetary policy. Powell is currently on wait-and-see, as NPCs are eagerly waiting for him, while smart people are loading up on precious metals as they know what's coming.

People that still have a working brain cell know what to do and what is coming and understand the urgence of the situation. The rest don't even understand now after all that happened, and probably never will.

Hopefully, at least one person understands what I'm saying and how urgent the situation is and for the rest (NPCs) I literally don't care about.

However, to make one point clear, all of this knowledge or lack of knowledge about central banking and the rest of the shit is completely irrelevant for trading. Good system/charting skills will literally reveal to you moves in the future if you know how to read the charts and patterns correctly. So, for folks trading, all of this shit that is being talked about every day about economy, wars and the rest is totally useless. Good news, price goes down and bad news for the economy currency goes up. Complete and utter waste of time to follow and try to understand. It's cool to comment on posts here and there, but it's a waste of time. Which is why there is almost no constructive forum that is focused on killing in trading, but just utter bullshit of bad predictions without the base and hopeisms along with demo trading which has nothing to do with real trading.

Take care! I won't bother to reply anymore, so comment if you want but don't expect reply.

And don't forget! The Fed is in wait-and-see mode, so stay vigilant for the next update on rates along with other enlightened individuals! Hilarious...

If you are right, WHY DOES JAPAN NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH HYPERINFLATION RIGHT NOW. Jesus christ man. Also, the fact that you're on a FX forum, talking about economic knowledge being useless tells me everything I need to know. DROP THE EGO OR YOU WILL BE STUCK FOREVER
