It makes one proud to be a world leader.When it comes to cracking sovereign debt markets, however, you do not want to be leading the pack.But that is where we are in the UK.Even Mohamed El-Erian is tweeting about it.Yields on 30-year gilts, ie UK long-term government borrowing costs, hit 5.75% this week, the highest level since 1998, and the highest in the G7.It's local election day in the UK today, one of those events when we are kidded into thinking that a cross on a piece of paper is going to make the slightest iota of difference. This has barely been discussed as an issue, when it should be front and centre.The cost of servicing UK debt is now north of £100 billion, roughly 7% of annual expenditure.All you young folks grinding away at your desks to pay Income Tax, that's what much your effort is being expended on: servicing debt. It's not like you are contributing to anything new. As I say in Daylight Robbery, debt is a tax on the future. UK public spending is now £48,000 per household. That's how out of control things now are.This is only going to get worse. You have to own gold.One reason sterling has held together better than many expected is that UK interest rates remain high.Whether the Bank of England formally raises rates further or not, the market itself is already tightening financial conditions. Happy mortgage day, everyone. The post-2008 era of low rates is well and truly over.So-called yield curve control will have to come, to stop the government admitting they are insolvent. And that means further currency debasement.All the political turmoil that's coming as Labour tries to get rid of Keir Starmer after today's rout is not going to help. The next General Election is still three years away. Labour will put that off for as long as possible as half of them are going to lose their seats.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.When the next General Election does come, the result is going to be, as they say in women's circles, “well hung”. No party has more than 25% of the vote. Reform is currently polling highest on 25% (next are the Tories and Labour on 19%), but thanks to our electoral system Reform's 25% will not necessarily translate into 25% of seats, unless deals are done. The most likely victor will be a coalition, probably RefCon, but don't discount the possibility of GreenLab.I should perhaps say this. 5.75% is not “instant crisis” serious, and the yield has come off a little amidst the latest potential for peace in Iran. Today it's 5.63%. We are now at the “the market is starting to ask questions” stage.For context, in 1992 long-dated yields went to 9% even while the base rate hit 15% on Black Wednesday itself.We can survive 5.75% for a little bit, but as you can see from the chart below: this is a upwards trend and it is going higher.The UK is uniquely vulnerable: large fiscal deficits, persistent current account deficits, high debt-to-GDP, high taxes, high energy costs, heavy state-spending commitments, no political appetite for belt-tightening, low growth, low productivity, a service-sector-led economy much of which can be replaced by AI, financial services suffocated by regulation, short average debt maturity rolling constantly into new rates, the Bank of England now selling gilts not buying. Then there are the demographic issues: an ageing population, the most productive leaving, and a reliance on foreign capital which, at present, is not coming but going.What does this all translate to? Higher mortgage rates, increased government refinancing costs, higher taxes as a result, forced spending cuts, pension funds and leveraged financial institutions coming under pressure, weaker growth and sterling vulnerability.If you are a reader from outside the UK, you can look at the UK and know what is likely coming to you soon after. The government itself will get into a terminal loop: higher yields → higher debt servicing → larger deficits → more issuance → higher yields.

George Soros's calculated takedown of the Bank of England wasn't just a financial move—it was a seismic event that exposed the fragility of global finance and the power of strategic manipulation. In this insightful episode of The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into the infamous Black Wednesday of 1992, unraveling how Soros shorted the British pound, pocketed over $1 billion, and forever cemented his reputation as "the man who broke the Bank of England." Was this a masterstroke of financial savvy or a deliberate step in a broader campaign of global disruption? Join us as we deliver a critical examination of Soros's rise to power, from his early days in war-torn Hungary to his immense influence over markets and political systems. This episode uncovers the intersection of finance, politics, and shadowy agendas, offering a unique perspective on how these forces shape the world we live in. We explore the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, Britain's economic missteps, and the role of elite networks in orchestrating chaos—all through the lens of historical facts and plausible speculation.As a podcaster who's interviewed leading experts on everything from ancient conspiracies to modern manipulations, I bring an unfiltered, thought-provoking take on Soros's legacy and its implications for sovereignty, national pride, and America's future. This must-watch episode will leave you questioning the true motives behind global upheavals and the hidden hands pulling the strings.Let's continue the conversation—comment your thoughts below!

By winning the 1992 general election, John Major had his own mandate to form a government, instead of imply inheriting Margaret Thatcher's. He'd shown himself capable of leading the Conservative Party to success, as he took it to its fourth election win in a row. He'd emerged somewhat from the shadow of his Iron Lady predecessor. And then things immediately started going wrong. Black Wednesday, when a major run on the pound turned George Soros into ‘the man who broke the Bank of England' and drove Britain out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. Major's positive poll ratings collapsed overnight and never entirely recovered.Then his own party began to creak as its seams, as a growing group began to emerge and express an increasingly strident Euroscepticism. It mounted a rebellion against the government's proposal to ratify what came to be known as the Maastricht Treaty, which converted the European Economic Community into the European Union, with more ambitious aims towards integration (from some of which Major obtained British opt-outs). Though eventually the sceptics voted with their own party's government to avoid bringing it down, their behaviour had been so objectionable to Major that, in an unguarded moment with a journalist, he referred to them as ‘bastards'.Meanwhile, in the Labour Party, John Smith, the well-respected leader who'd replaced Neil Kinnock after the general election defeat, died suddenly of a heart attack. There were two frontrunners to take over from him, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. It seems clear that they came to a deal whereby Brown would stand down as a candidate for the leadership to give Blair a clear run, in return for a big role in a future Labour government.Blair took over from Smith. He'd be leading Labour against Major's Conservatives at the next general election.

With Keir Starmer recently forced to promise his Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, would stay on until the next election, Westminster Insider Host Sascha O'Sullivan talks to former Chancellors and advisors who have worked in No 10 and No 11 Downing Street over the last 30 years to find out how to survive one of the toughest gigs in politics. She talks to former Chancellor Norman Lamont about the aftermath of the Black Wednesday financial crisis in 1992 and what lead to John Major sacking him less than a year later. Former advisor to Blair and Brown Theo Bertram tells Sascha the Chancellor-turned-PM Gordon Brown struggled to relinquish control over the Treasury to his new neighbour in No11, Alistair Darling. Sam White, who worked for Darling during his time as Chancellor, explains how an ideological wedge pulled the two apart before and after the 2008 financial crash. George Osborne, former Chancellor and now host of the Political Currency podcast, explains his unusual closeness with David Cameron through their shared belief in the merits of austerity. But he tells Sascha how their closeness may have risked a form of 'groupthink' during their time in office. Osborne also sets out why he thinks Rachel Reeves current economic plans have more in common with his economic agenda in the 2010s that people might realise. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hubo soldados españoles en varios de los ejércitos contendientes, y de ambos bandos, en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, la mayor participación española en el conflicto, y con diferencia, fue la de los soldados que sirvieron en la 250 División de Infantería de la Wehrmacht, más conocida como la División Azul. Durante los dos años que participó la división en la guerra, estuvo formando parte de las fuerzas del Eje que mantuvieron el durísimo cerco de Leningrado. La prueba más sangrienta a la que se enfrentó la División fue la batalla de Krasni Bor, en febrero de 1943. Una batalla despiadada, del estilo de las más cruentas del frente del Este, en la que ambos bandos pagaron un altísimo coste en vidas humanas. En este episodio trataremos un módulo del sistema Tactical Combat Series de The Gamers: Black Wednesday, que simula la batalla de Krasni Bor, y realizaremos la correspondiente introducción histórica a cargo de Enrique Cadenas (profesor de Historia y escritor) y de Paco Ronco. Para el análisis del juego y del sistema, contaremos con Agustí Barrio y con Paco Ronco y, además, con la de nuevo generosa participación de Lee Forester, el responsable del sistema TCS dentro de The Gamers, quien nos contará cosas muy interesantes sobre el pasado, presente y futuro de la serie.

George Soros, often a figure shrouded in both mystique and controversy, is the subject of the documentary "The Great Speculator - The Mysterious Life of George Soros." Born in 1930 to a Hungarian family with a history of surviving adversity, Soros's early life was defined by the pragmatic survival lessons from his father, who had endured the horrors of World War I and the Nazi occupation of Hungary. These experiences ingrained in Soros a profound understanding of risk and survival, elements that later became cornerstones of his speculative financial strategies. The film delves into Soros's academic years at the London School of Economics where he was deeply influenced by the philosopher Karl Popper, shaping his views on market dynamics and the imperfection of knowledge. It follows his journey into the world of finance, where after a rocky start in London, he moved to New York, setting the stage for the establishment of his Quantum Fund. This fund became a vehicle for his speculative prowess, famously earning him a billion dollars during 1992's Black Wednesday by betting against the British pound. "The Great Speculator" not only explores Soros's financial ventures but also his complex personal and ideological evolution, highlighting his philosophical and philanthropic engagements later in life.(00:05) The documentary opens with a recount of George Soros earning a billion dollars during the Black Wednesday financial crisis in 1992 when the British government raised interest rates to 15% in a failed attempt to stabilize the pound.(01:43) It highlights George Soros's challenging childhood, born in 1930 to a father who was a prisoner of war during World War I and later taught Soros the art of survival, which proved crucial during the Nazi occupation of Hungary.(04:17) During World War II, the Soros family survived by using false identities and bribing authorities to evade Nazi persecution in Hungary, significantly impacting Soros's understanding of risk and survival strategies.(07:08) The narrative then shifts to Soros's academic journey at the London School of Economics, where he was influenced by philosopher Karl Popper, learning about the imperfection of knowledge and the concept of falsifiability, which shaped his investment strategies.(09:08) The documentary details Soros's early career in finance in London and New York, his struggle as a trader, and the eventual establishment of his Quantum Fund, which capitalized on market discrepancies and made significant profits by speculating on real estate investment trusts and other financial instruments.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI was going to call this article “a tale of national betrayal.” Sterling is a national disgrace. If ever there was something that symbolised the decline of Britain from world leader to tin pot sh*te show, it is our currency. The US dollar has lost at least 93% of its purchasing power since World War Two. The pound, which was a few cents shy of $5 at the onset of war and today sits at $1.24, has lost an additional 75% against the US dollar.It's shocking. An appalling betrayal by successive leaderships. When you devalue your currency, you devalue your entire country: the people's labour, their savings, their assets.As long-time readers will know, I have identified a long-term cycle in the pound, and the next capitulation is due this year. If this plays out, then the pound is about to hit the skids.Don't get wedded to the idea of a cycleLet me start with my usual disclaimer: it's easy to look back at the past, find some arbitrary pattern, declare it a cycle, write some persuasive copy, and, all of a sudden, you're a guru. When things don't pan out as they should, you blame some outside factor, usually the government.Cycles do exist. We have the seasons, the moons, the cycle of life. There are good times and bad times. There are investment cycles too: bull markets and bear markets, the Kondratiev cycle, the 18-year cycle in real estate, commodities super-cycles, the 4-year presidential cycle. Mining is cyclical. New tech goes through a clear cycle as it evolves. I'm a big believer in the hype cycle. Yet actually trading them in real time is hard.Thinking in terms of cycles does help you to frame the bigger picture: it can give you an idea where you are in the grand scheme of things. But you can easily get wedded to the idea of a particular cycle, and then it's very hard to break the mindset, even if real life right in front of you is telling a very different story.I remember people in the years after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) being wedded to the idea of Kondratiev Winter and the next Great Depression. The Dow was going to 1,000, they said. It never went close and here we are today above 38,000. The problem was that the Kondratiev Winter argument was persuasive, and once you've been hooked by a narrative, it's hard to break its shackles.If you are interested in buying gold, check out my recent report. I have a feeling it is going to come in very handy in the not-too-distant future. My recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company.So to Frisby's FluxWith all that said, I am now going to argue that there is an 8ish-year cycle in the British pound that goes all the way back to 1968, at least. I've called it Frisby's Flux, because I was the first to observe it and I've got to get my name on something.We'll start with a quick skim through recent sterling history, then we'll look at a chart, and finally, we'll look at what's coming next.In November 1967, the British government devalued the pound by 14% from $2.80 to $2.40 in order to “achieve a substantial surplus on the balance of payments consistent with economic growth and full employment”.In the early 1970s, after the Nixon Shock, the pound rallied against the dollar, but fast forward to 1976, eight (ish) years on, and we are in the year of the IMF crisis when Chancellor Dennis Healy is said to have gone “cap in hand” to borrow money from them. $3.9bn was the agreed sum, at the time the largest loan ever requested. Inflation in the UK reached 24%. From high to low, sterling lost around 40%, reaching $1.60.The pound recovered, and by the early 1980s, sterling was back above $2.40.Move forward eight years and we come to 1984 when the pound would drop by more than 55% to reach an all-time low against the dollar – $1.04 - in early 1985. This was during the miners' strike and shortly after the Falklands War, but the real issue was extraordinary US dollar strength, something which took collusion between the G5 nations of France, Germany, Japan, the US and the UK and the Plaza Accord of 1985 to depreciate it.Again sterling would recover – this time to $2.Eight years later and we come to the notorious cycle low of 1992 and Black Wednesday, the day that sealed George Soros's reputation with his bet against the pound. Sterling fell to $1.40 – a 30% loss - as the Bank of England took the UK out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.Eight years later, in 2000, the Dotcom bubble collapsed, and the pound lost 20% of its value, again falling to $1.40. (The pound is geared to financial markets. When they struggle it usually does too).But again it recovered. By 2007, it was above $2.10. Can you imagine? The pound above two bucks, and not so long ago.Then, in 2008, came the GFC and, yup, the pound lost 35%, hitting a low of $1.36. What did I say about the pound being geared to financial markets?The next low came in 2016 with the infamous Flash Crash , shortly after Theresa May's speech at the Conservative Party Conference. Having been above $1.70 at one point earlier in this cycle, it hit a low of $1.14, according to some measures. The overall drop from high to low was almost 35%. (As that $1.14 number came in the early hours of the morning, it is not showing up on the chart below).Here we are in 2024, eight years on. The next capitulation is due. Are we about to enter the drop zone? Could well be.Here is an illustration of the cycle. You can see how every eight years, the pound hits a low. (The chart starts at 1970, I couldn't find data going back to 1967-68).Show this chart to your friendsSo what's next?And how to protect yourself? And possibly even profit?

Lord Lamont talks tackling inflation, controlling interest rates and growing up in Shetland in the latest episode of Lord Speaker's Corner.‘Although I personally would not have joined the ERM and although I personally didn't think it was a disaster when we had to leave, I think the period we were in the ERM for two years did actually do the economy a huge amount of good.'Norman Lamont, now Lord Lamont of Lerwick, was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the early 90s, and was responsible for trying to restore stability after the UK dramatically crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) on ‘Black Wednesday'. In this episode, he shares with Lord McFall of Alcluith what was going on behind the scenes and explains that despite it being ‘a political disaster… a great humiliation', it set up the following 15 years of growth.‘I did actually go and see both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair when they were in opposition. And I told them that it wasn't my business to do anything to help the Labour Party, but I think it would be in the interest, thought it would be in the interest of the country, if they made the Bank of England independent.'Lord Lamont also explains how he suggested to Gordon Brown and Tony Blair to make the Bank of England independent, having not managed to convince John Major to do the same when he was Prime Minister. He also explains how we have got to where we are with interest rates today, by introducing a policy to use interest rate setting to target a set percentage for inflation.Born in Shetland, Lord Lamont also explains how growing up there influenced his perspectives on the UK and Europe, and talks about his hopes for the UK's relationship with the EU post-Brexit.Find out more and watch episodes of Lord Speaker's Corner:https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

There was little to be thankful for for Chicago Blackhawks fans after getting blown out on Black Wednesday by the Columbus Blue Jackets. The lone reminder that there's still something to be grateful for came off of the stick of Connor Bedard who netted his 10th goal of the season on a beautiful wrister. Jason Dickinson later scored a goal, but it was all Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.

Good morning to you,We are talking Japanese currency today.First, in case you missed them last week, check out:The story of my pilgrimage got a big and positive response from readers. This piece on the true value of UK housing also got a big response.If you haven't already, and if speculative silver mining stocks are of interest: watch this interview with Alex Langer of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver. And, finally, a big thank you to all who came to my gold lecture on Thursday. What a great night. A reminder that due to sell-outs, we have added some extra London dates - February 14th and 15th. You can get tickets here.Right, the yen. I can't help thinking there are some real opportunities coming …The currency has been weak as hell for a long time. Against the US dollar it is at lows not seen since this century. We all know what a rotten currency the pound has been. It has lost a third of its purchasing power just since 2020. A third! Against the constant that is gold, it has lost 90% of its purchasing power since 1999.And yet against the yen, the pound is at seven-year highs, not far off the pre-2008-financial-crisis levels. In those days a pound got you two dollars, instead of the $1.21 it gets you today.In terms of trading volume, then yen is the third most important currency in the world, after the dollar and the euro, accounting for around 17% of global daily forex turnover. Given that is thought to be $7.5 trillion, we are talking about around $1.3 trillion of daily trading volume. No small beer.Why has the yen been so weak?The main reason is that, while other central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, have raised rates, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has not. It has ignored rising inflation (perhaps because Japan has had issues with deflation for so long). Indeed the BoJ has been creating digital money and buying extraordinary amounts of government bonds with it in order to cap rates. The BoJ now owns over half of Japanese national debt. My mind boggles when I read stuff like that. How can it be possible to print so much money and buy so much debt without apparent consequence? This is BoJ's so-called yield curve control. I wish they'd print money and buy me a mansion. Or even just a nice car.Suppressed rates lead to the yen carry trade - borrowing yen at a cheap rate and holding other currencies that pay a better yield. But when the carry trade reverses, as in 2007-8, it tends to reverse very quickly.The yen, as a result, also tends to act as a safe haven currency: during times of panic, such as we saw in 2008, there is rapid flight to the yen in a rush to unwind the carry trade.Here is a very long term chart of dollar-yen going all the way back to 1987. (When the chart is rising, so is the US dollar).The dollar made its low - or the yen its high, depending on how you view things - in late 2011 and 2012. Since then the yen has halved. 50% declines for a major currency is kind of a big deal.Look at the speed at which that thing came down between 1990 and 1995, between 1998 and 1999, from 2007 to 2011 and in 2015-16. When that thing moves, it moves. (We'll come to another yen currency pair that moves even faster in just a moment).Here's the last three years zoomed in. Kind of very double toppy.I'm not going to pretend to be any kind of an expert on Japanese policy, plans or goals, but I ask, at a certain point, if the BoJ will step in to shore up the currency? Surely they must. Everything I read tells me they will. If so, at what point?The 150 level is one commonly cited number. 150 is where we are now. But I stress this is only rumour. A related question is: how long will so-called yield curve control go on for? Indeed, how long can it go on for?Again, I can't pretend to know the answer. Little old me is struggling to get his head around the fact that it has even been able to go on at all, let alone this long.So to that yen currency pair that really moves. Ooof, take a look at this one. This is where I think the money is going to be made.The British pound and the Japanese yenHere's a long term chart. (When the red line is rising, the pound is rising and the yen is falling. And vice versa).Again, during those periods of yen strength, this thing came down like a stone. Between 1990 and 1995 (especially 1992 - that was Black Wednesday in the UK). From 1998 to 2000. 2007-8 - Gosh! it really came down then. And then 2015-16. It also ties in with my 8-year cycle of the pound: it is even more apparent when viewed in yen.As so much of the British economy is built on finance, sterling tends to be strong when financials are strong. It sells off during market panics - which is when money flees to the yen. Thus the pound and then yen are inverted.Sterling has been weak against most currencies since the summer. Cable (pound-USD) has gone from $1.31 to $1.21. The 8-year-cycle in the pound seems to be playing out again. But against the yen it has hardly moved. It's the same price it was in June-July.Here is pound-yen since Covid. Does this trend continue? Or is it exhausted?Most of the 2020 Covid trades - the boom in tech, in commodities, in bitcoin - have played out and unwound. But not the decline of the yen. It is still going strong. There is some catch up to be had.When does it end? That's the question. There may still be some gas in the tank, but I'm starting to think sooner rather than later - if only because so few people are talking about it. I asked three different finance WhatsApp chat groups that I'm on if anyone had any decent yen material. Nobody came back with anything. Such things are often a good, contrarian sign. Nobody rings a bell at the top of the market, unfortunately. But this is one to watch.Forex trading is extremely difficult. There is so much that can go wrong, especially to do with risk management, position sizing and timing. I don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing. But I feel there could be an opportunity here.Thank you for reading. Thank you for being a subscriber.

In this wide-ranging interview, first published in 2021, Jeremy Lent discusses his fascinating new book Web of Meaning which combines findings in cognitive science, systems theory and traditional Chinese and Buddhist thought, to develop a framework that integrates both science and meaning in a coherent whole. Jeremy discusses what he sees as an essential problem at the heart of our current worldview: how man is separated from nature which is seen purely as a resource. He highlights a very different perspective, common to many indigenous peoples, how we are interrelated, not just all humans related to each other, but seeing all of the living earth around us all of life as being our relations. Jeremy also shares his long standing criticisms on the structure of the modern corporation and its role in society, in light of the recent Shell climate litigation, and the election of new directors to the board of Exxon, instigated by a small activist investor-which has been called the oil industry's “Black Wednesday.” Jeremy is an award winning author and founder of the nonprofit Liology Institute, dedicated to fostering a worldview that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on the earth. His writings investigate the underlying causes and the patterns of thought that have led our civilization to its current sustainability crisis. The Patterning Instinct is a cultural history of humanity's search for meaning, traces the deepest dark of foundations of our modern worldview. His most recent book is Web of Meaning: integrating science and traditional wisdom to find our place in the universe.He is the founder of the  Deep Transformation Network, a global community exploring pathways to an ecological civilization, and the nonprofit Liology Institute, dedicated to fostering an integrated worldview that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on the Earth. 

This week Beau chats with Dan all about Black Wednesday, the 16th of September 1992, when the foreign exchange markets sold an ungodly amount of Stirling, causing the value of the Pound to plummet, and, ultimately, the Major government to suffer a massive electoral defeat. Listen in to Beau and Dan to find out how and why that happened.

In The UK, September 16, 1992, is known as Black Wednesday, the day when speculators including George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller "broke the pound." This expression is used to describe the moment in time where market forces coalesced to force the British government to exit the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) by removing its currency from that agreement. Joining the ERM was part of Britain's effort participate in a single European CurrencyPatrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance:  https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle YouTube Channel Support the show

Before we begin today's piece, a quick reminder for those who might find themselves in the Scottish neck of the woods this August, I am doing a show at the Edinburgh Fringe all about gold. It's from August 4th to 20th at 2pm. Please come if you are in town- you can get tickets here.Plus an added bit of history: it takes place in the room in which Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations. Hopefully, I will see you there. So, the pound …An alert just went off in my calendar: “start looking to short the pound”, it says. Why would one short strength?Look at the pound these last few months, it has been very strong, very strong indeed. You wouldn't know it to listen to many financial commentators, who so often seem consumed with national self-loathing, but against a basket of foreign currencies, the pound actually flirting with six-year highs (it's got a bit further to go against the euro and the US dollar, though, largely, we tend to think of pound-dollar, aka cable, as the defining measure). Charlie Morris of Bytetree argues that the pound has become the carry trade. (When you borrow at a low-interest rate in one currency and invest in another currency at a higher rate of return).We are in an equities bull market of sorts, and the pound, as the currency of a nation geared to finance, tends to be strong when financial assets are strong. During times of financial crisis, it is much weaker.Whatever the explanation for recent pound strength, I set the alert some three or four years ago - before the strength kicked in. What was I thinking?It's based on a cycle I've identified. As far as I know, I'm the first to observe this cycle, so, with Brand Frisby in mind, I've named it after myself: Frisby's Flux - the eight year cycle in the pound. Before I explain the cycle, let me issue a disclaimer. As outlined last week, it's easy to look back at history, find some arbitrary pattern and declare it a cycle. Real life in real time is often a very different matter. Nevertheless, cycles can help frame where we are in the grand scheme of things. My observation is that every eight years, the pound seems to crash. We start in 1976, the year of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) crisis. At one point, inflation reached 24%. The Labour government borrowed $3.9bn, at the time the largest loan ever requested. From high to low, sterling lost around 40%, reaching $1.60.But it recovered. By the early 1980s sterling was back above $2.40.Then came the next bear phase, in which the pound would drop by more than 55% and reach an all-time low against the dollar – $1.04. This was the era of the Falklands War and then the miners' strike. The low came shortly after 1984, in early 1985.On the other side of the trade, the US dollar was showing extraordinary strength – so much so that France, Germany, Japan, the US and the UK eventually colluded to depreciate it. This was the Plaza Accord of 1985. Again sterling would recover – this time to $2.Eight years on, in 1992, sterling hit another significant low. This was Black Wednesday, when the Bank of England took the UK out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM). It fell from $2 to $1.40 – a 30% loss. The killing that George Soros made selling the pound sealed his reputation.Eight years later, around 2000, as the dotcom bubble collapsed, so the pound lost 20% of its value. (What did I say about the pound being geared to finance?).  But again it recovered. By 2007 it was above $2.10. Can you imagine? The pound above two bucks only 16 years ago.Then we got the financial crisis of 2008 and, yup, the pound lost 35%, hitting a low of $1.36.The next low came in 2016 with Brexit then the infamous Flash Crash of 2016, shortly after Theresa May's speech at the Conservative Party Conference. Having been above $1.70 at one point earlier in this cycle, it hit a low of $1.14, according to some measures. The overall drop from high to low was almost 35%.The subsequent bull market was probably the limpest in living memory. The 2016 low was retested in the Corona panic of 2020, but then we get a good rally to $1.42 by summer 2021.After that, with so much political upheaval, the pound turned down. When the Bank of England broadcast that it would be selling the UK gilts it had printed the money to buy during Quantitative Easing, and Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng then gave us his low-tax budget, panic hit the markets and the pound hit an intraday low of a $1.04 (the same low it hit in 1985). Since then we have had quite some rally.Here's the illustration of everything I've just described. Don't you love charts? They get to the point much quicker.Did the 8-year cycle low come early? Was that it in 2022? Or can we expect it some time in 2024?When I first wrote about Frisby's Flux, as long ago as 2017 it may have been, I suggested that we should be looking for a high some time in 2022-2023, as an opportunity to go short. Hence why I put that notification in my calendar. This current rally might be providing us with just one such opportunity. Question is: how long does the rally go on?On a long-term basis, the pound at $1.28 is not exactly hugely overvalued. On a Big Mac Index basis (which measures relative currency value around the world based on the cost of a Big Mac) we are not far off fair value. As I say, cycles are easy to identify in the rear view mirror. They are much harder to trade in real time. Perhaps the trigger will be yet more dysfunctional politics. Perhaps the Bank of England will fall even further behind the inflation curve and rates will spike, triggering some kind of crisis, such as we saw in the lead up to 1992. Perhaps equities more generally turn bearish. We can only guess what the trigger might be. But Frisby's Flux, whatever it is worth, and that might be very little, is suggesting there might soon be an opportunity to go short the pound  looking for an eventual low in 2024.Interested in buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times?

Truss and Kwarteng's mini-budget madness has sparked a Black Wednesday 2.0 – will the quids be alright? Plus, as Starmer takes Keir of business with a successful outing at conference, we look at Labour's standing. This week's special guest is former Labour minister turned mystery novelist Alan Johnson. “It's too long ago to blame the last Labour government for everything so now they're blaming one that doesn't exist yet.” – Ros Taylor  “This looks like two economics A-Level students have been let loose. The inexperience they're displaying is just mind-boggling.” – Alan Johnson  “There is no easy way out for them and neither should there be given the magnitude of error that they've made.” – Alan Johnson  “To climb down from this plan would be a repudiation of everything Truss stands for.” – Ros Taylor “You can almost feel the mood of the country shifting towards Keir Starmer.” – Alan Johnson www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Tickets to Doomsday Watch Live: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/etmejHAuba Presented by Alex Andreou with Ian Dunt and Ros Taylor.
