“In the past 5 years the amount of UST’s the US needs to roll over every year has risen by nearly 15% CAGR, the while US nominal GDP is just over 2%. A 1200bp gap isn’t sustainable for very long, yet the overwhelming consensus [assumption] is that it’s sustainable for decades”.
Luke Gromen
“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation, the second is war. Both bring
temporary prosperity; both bring permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and
economic opportunists”.
Ernest Hemingway

Gold and silver gave some of their recent gains back on a stronger US Dollar.
Have a pleasant evening.
