Household survey was positve showing adjusted 80,000 new jobs and 150000 before adjustment. Household survey led payroll on way down, maybe it will lead on the way up.

Dollar collapsed today down 1.45!!

kitco.com

I think it has to do with the long bond being slaughtered yesterday. Feds need to buy more treasuries to keep interest rates down.

So now the dollar has fallen from about 88 to 82+ in about a month.

This might be 1980. The table sure seems to be set for it?

Even the base metals and soft commodities are participating.
