we will see if price inflation comes to US Economy in areas outside cost structure
it MUST appear in consumer prices AND wages so far retail center prices are dominated by liquidation and cheap Asian imports we did see 0.9% January import price increase officially that is a good start but the JapYen fails to rally, so import prices will not continue up to any great degree
if price rises everywhere but wages, then horrendous recession awaits unclear to me what happens to gold if US$ declines from US recession
what Americans fail to realize is that there is NO GOLD rally in Asia see the gold price in yen terms stockcharts.com[h,a]waclyyay[df][pb50!d20,2!f][vc60][iUb14!Uh15,5,5]&pref=G
and the gold price is comatose in euro terms stockcharts.com[h,a]waclyyay[df][pb50!d20,2!f][vc60][iUb14!Uh15,5,5]&pref=G
I am afraid that gold will reflect secular deflation power next, more so than declining USDollar if most new money goes to debt which fails, then secular forces take over who gives a shit if US$ money supply is growing ??? that is a HORRIBLE gold community misread, pathetic WHERE DOES NEW MONEY GO??? IF TO DEBT, THEN DONT BE SO ENCOURAGED ABOUT GOLD !!!
