But I wonder the catalyst will be?

Debt laden consumers subsisting on relatively low salaries (72% making less than $50k), 1 in 4 paying half their monthly salary for rent/mortgage, doesn't leave much left over for a road trip.

Savers are making nearly 0% in their accounts, yet velocity declines.

If rates are forced to go up in a bond rout, holding cash would seem even wiser because of higher yields.

Whatever turns the ship will have to be huge... Japan has muddled along with low velocity for years.

I think with the Baby Boom retiring, we will see a big reduction in the velocity of money for a few years.
