Fed's Fischer Says Fed Can't Be "On Hold For Ever", Spooks Bonds & Bullion

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Fed vice-chair Fischer speaks and markets must show that what he says is important. Shortly after uttering the following:

  • *FISCHER: MARKETS CAN'T DEPEND ON FED STAYING ON HOLD FOR EVER

Bond yields spiked and gold and silver prices tumbled (because it's all about the signal). Stocks initially ignored his comments, but are starting to lose ground now.

 

See - The Fed is serious!!

 

And stocks... not exactly dumping...yet

The Fed should just kill itself now, and avoid all of the drama associated with painting oneself into a corner.

Of course, they'll kill a bunch of us instead.

The desperation is incredible.  Daily "Statements" by someone in a position of authority.  FFS the world has gone mad believing that the statements are actually legit and not the actual Fed policy itself.

Monetary policy is dead.  All that's left is making a statement.

The Fed is desperately looking for a scapegoat to pin the collapse on so they can proclaim their clean hands to the masses. I suspect they have several candidates in mind to blame when the SHTF. All this jawboning is nothing but cover so they can say "We really were ready to raise rates until X fucked everything with Y". With the declarations now coming fast & furious, they are telegraphing what is coming. This theatre is nothing but another engineered Pump & Dump scheme. Blow the bubble, then pop it. Banks win on the way up, and down. Same as it ever was. Rinse & Repeat ad nauseum.

Can you believe that happened to gold?!?  Gosh, I really thought the bullion banks, who make the rules, and control the market, and have been ruthlessly driving the average western investor out of the gold market, were totally going to get caught with their pants down this time, and yet somehow they did it again! 

 

Well, that's ok, one of these days they really are going to lose it, and all their power and ability to bait the trend chasers with their chart painting will be to no avail!  We'll get 'em next time!  What a fucking joke - no, the gold market's not managed or manipulated at all...

The FED needs to get that 0.25% rate rise out of the way so they can almost immediately remove it and go back to 0% or NIRP like Europe and demonstrate that they work for banks and equity markets - not savers, retirees, or citizens.

Maybe someone could point out to Stanley that the FED hasn't raised rates since June 2006 and ZIRP has been in place since late 2008.

Rates aren't going anywhere...unless it's a meaningless quarter or half point move (which they will cut later).

Who gives a shit what fucking lies that israeli dual citizen spews out.

If it comes out of his mouth its a lie. Keep the following in mind when he speaks.

That the Jewish nation is the only nation selected by God, while all the remaining ones are
contemptible and hateful.
That all property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which consequently is entitled to
seize upon it without any scruples. An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of
morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself
or to Jews in general.
A Jew may rob a Goy, he may cheat him over a bill, which should not be perceived by him,
otherwise the name of God would become dishonoured.
Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat, 348

Fischer is a liar  - the rates are staying where they are.  If US rates go up, the USD rockets and that crushes the S&P500.

The FED is learning to dance.

First step is QE on, QE off, QE on, QE off, QE on, QE off.

Next step is rates up .25%, rates down .25%, rates up .25%, rates down .25%.

And then lets try them together, QE on, rates up, QE off rates down, rates up, QE on, QE off, rates down...cha cha cha

So, if the Fed allows rates to rise, so does the rate on treasuries, which increases the yearly interest on the National Debt which is already 12% of income.

Anyone want to bet on the screams when it hits 15-20-25 percent of income?   How about when it returns to 6% average interest and hits 33% of income?

Fed is flag waving signals right and left, but it knows that unless there is a brand new source of actual income, any increase in the rate will tank the dollar and send uphevals in the economy as spending gives way to debt repayment.

Why on earth anyone would lend to a government that was 18 trillion in debt is beyound me.

Note the bias imbedded in the language. When the Fed isn't printing, it's "on hold." In other words, continuous printing is a natural process that cannot and should not be halted, while failing to print is a worrisome interruption that must not continue long. Orwell was such a goddamn genius - once Big Brother takes control of the language, the rest is embarrassingly easy.

Nice try.  The markets have, can and will depend on the Fed staying on hold forever.  The Fed's pattern of behavior shows that ZIRP or near ZIRP forever is their intention without doubt.
