past history on dollar-bond-gold triangle irrelevant

people like to point to the 1930's for gold during bad times
they had no derivatives back then
they had no carry trade back then
they had no hedge funds back then
they had no offshore banking back then
they had no Asian mfg dynamism back then
they had no post-peak oil back then
they had no active central banks back then
they had no political puppeteer strings to banking back then
they had no asset economy back then
they had no absent US mfg base back then

and my favorite
they had no currency war victims like now
industry shutdowns from cost shifts (see smelters, SA gold mining, entire US mfg base, Mexican border mfg)

the gold community likes to portray the current climate as similar to the 1970s
it has almost no similarity whatsoever, except rising energy and gold prices
outside that, NADA
with biggest difference being China's blockage of the cost push inside the US Economy

Mish, the current secular deflation is alive and well
its queer signature is the falling US$ and falling USTrez long rate
this will continue as long as the yen carry trade is on the table
it aint going away until the 290 bpt differential vanishes
so a bond rally will continue right with the secular deflation
perversely, Greenspan has aided through boastful broadcast the plan to aid liquidity and accommodate with low rates
he provided the yen carry trade with its one-sided assurance of success
this assurance is confirmed on a regular basis by Bank of Japan interventions to prevent the yen from rising
combined with Asian trade surplus recycle, surely not to stop for a while, long US rates will continue down down down

the bond rally during this secular deflation will frustrate thh gold bull market
gold needs a faltering bond market
the bull will act like a blind beast running aimlessly
I expect gold to be landlocked between 415 and 455 for a full year
