<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 26667243, member: 73489&quot;]Japan is a net creditor nation.&nbsp; They need a bailout like Elon Musk and Warren Buffet need a GoFundMe to help pay their bills.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The Japanese 10-year has gone from 0.2% to 2.25% in a few years.&nbsp; It&#039;s at levels not seen since the Bubble Decade of the 1980&#039;s. The yen is weak and that is leading to higher rates...because many times, higher rates are a prerequisite for a stronger currency.&nbsp; Cause and effect are reversed at times, as the proverbial &quot;shift in the demand curve&quot; is replaced by a shift ALONG the demand curve, as my Eco 101 professor used to tell us. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Japan&#039;s Yen is weak, they need higher rates to lift it....or LOWER rates abroad. But everybody else is cutting.</p><p>It&#039;s not gold that is the problem; it wasn&#039;t in 1979-80, either.&nbsp; It was inflation that was the problem and drove gold then....gold is going higher for other reasons but clearly inflation in the 2-3% range can&#039;t explain this rise since 2018 or so.</p><p>Good provactive points...but notice that the last few weeks (months ?) gold and silver are up strongly and Bitcoin is down or flat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
