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?

Higher bond yields in developed markets are spooking equity markets, but some on the bond side see the higher yields as too attractive to miss out on. Services prices in Japan rose at the fastest annual rate since 1993. China is pushing hard against a weaker yuan.

I am joined by co-founder Piers Curran to talk over three themes in markets this week:1) Goldman Slumps - the US investment bank reported its lowest quarterly profit in almost six years, weighed down by falling trading and investment banking. Was this unexpected? What does it mean for the fate of CEO David Solomon?2) Tesla's profit margins slipped in the latest quarter as a series of price cuts this year weighed on its earnings and Netflix's password-sharing crackdown pays off with nearly 6mn new subscribers. We take a look at what we've learned from their latest corporate earnings reports.3) Has the UK finally caught a break as inflation fell to a 15-month low resulting in the British Pound trading back below 1.3000 and traders reigning in their rate hike expectations for the Bank of England.Free daily newsletter https://bit.ly/3Oeu4WkFree Finance Accelerator simulation https://bit.ly/3GoyV5rConnect with Anthony https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonycheung10/Connect with Piers https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierscurran/ Hosted on Acast.

Episode #76: Fate of the U.S. Dollar The U.S. Dollar has been the global reserve currency since 1944, when the Bretton Woods Agreement solidified the transition from the British Pound to U.S. Dollars. Recently, several clients have asked whether the U.S. Dollar can withstand challenges from growing currencies, like the Chinese Yuan, or from digital currencies. In this episode, we will review the history of currency markets, along with a deep dive into the strength of the U.S. Dollar compared to other major global currencies. Want more Flourish Insights?

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Hi everyone, Jay Pluimer here with Flourish Insights. As the director of investments at Flourish Wealth Management, I take pride in providing our clients, colleagues, and friends with resources and information that can help them make strategic and effective choices regarding their investments. Did you know we have an Alexa Skill? To listen on your Alexa device, just say, “Alexa, play Flourish Insights.”   Today, in response to client questions, we are discussing the Fate of the US Dollar.   I appreciate when clients ask questions that challenge whether or not the foundations of the current market are sustainable in the future. Some of those questions relate to US versus International investments or the opportunities for a portfolio with 60% in Stocks and 40% in Bonds to earn an attractive return. An excellent example of client questions popped up recently when a couple different clients asked questions about the sustainability and reliability of the US Dollar as the global default currency. These questions challenged whether or not the US Dollar could withstand challenges from growing currencies like the Chinese Yuan or from digital currencies. It was a helpful opportunity to review the history of currency markets along with a deep dive into the strength of the US Dollar compared to other major global currencies. The US Dollar has been the global reserve currency since 1944 when the Bretton Woods Agreement solidified the transition from the British Pound to US Dollars. This was a reflection of the balance of power for the United States as the largest economy in the world in the 1940s, a status that the US continues to hold. Although the definition of a reserve currency can be complicated, the most effective way to explain this status is that countries selling goods and services to the US and are paid in dollars, meaning that the more business a country does with the US the more dollars they have in their Treasury. For example, China is the second largest economy in the world and a major trade partner of the United States, resulting in China holding over 1 Trillion US Dollars. The result is that it would be very difficult for the Chinese Yuan to replace the US Dollar as the global currency because that would significantly reduce the value of one of the largest assets sustaining the value of their own currency. The US Dollar represents about 60% of global foreign exchange reserves. The closest competitor is the Euro at 20% and no other currency represents more than 6%. A primary reason for the US Dollar to maintain its status as the global reserve currency is that it has consistently represented between 60% and 66% of global foreign exchange reserves, dominating all competitors by a significant margin. This consistency is impressive considering the introduction of the Euro as a global currency in 1999 and the entry of the Chinese Yuan in 2010. In addition, the US Dollar is valued relative to other currencies while the Chinese Yuan has an exchange rate that is controlled by the Chinese Government, an arrangement that has created complications for currency markets on a periodic basis over the years. A final aspect to consider for a reserve currency is the percent of global transactions that take place in that currency. Each transaction means US Dollars are being bought and sold, resulting in a transition of currency between the two countries. Right now over 96% of transactions in the Americas are in US Dollars and 70% of global transactions are also in US Dollars. Any competing currency would need to surpass these benchmarks to challenge the US Dollar as the reserve currency, something that hasn't happened over at least the past 50 years. The premise that a digital currency could replace the US Dollar would mean that almost all of the transactions would need to change to a new currency with the understanding that each transaction would effectively reset the currency value because there wouldn't be a global economy supporting the value of the currency. It would also mean that countries like China would have to be comfortable selling over $1 Trillion of US Dollars in exchange for a digital currency that is effectively controlled by consumers instead of a government or governmental agency. One of the digital currency options referenced in a currency article forwarded by a client was being launched by Russia and Iran, two countries that represent under 5% of the global economy, meaning that the other 95% of the world would need to agree that two of the smaller economies would be preferred over the United States which represents almost 60% of the global economy. Similar to the digital currency question, anything is possible but it would be hard to imagine governments and corporations taking the risk that the value of their goods and services wouldn't be supported by a recognizable economic infrastructure. Based on this research, the Fate of the US Dollar is strong. As long as the United States is the largest open trading economy in the world, as long as every country and company wants access to the US economy, and as long as it would be both an inconvenience and a big risk to switch default currencies, the position of the US Dollar as the reserve currency is secure. It was a helpful exercise to review the reasons why the US Dollar is the reserve currency and what would be required for an alternative option to take its place, but it was also reassuring to conclude that a significant change is not visible on the horizon.   For more up-to-date insights into the market, the economy, and what it all means for your portfolio, subscribe to Flourish Insights on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

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?

Talk about the US debt ceiling is starting to heat up. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urged Congress on Thursday to raise its debt ceiling, warning that a US default would produce an “economic and financial catastrophe” that would trigger a global economic downturn and risk undermining the country's ability to provide global leadership.So what is the debt ceiling? could we default? and might former President Donald Trump have the best negotiating tactics?!We also discuss US inflation after the April CPI report saw the headline figure drop below 5% for the first time in two years, and we take a look at why major investment banks have changed their tune on the prospects for the British Pound.Free daily newsletter https://bit.ly/3Oeu4WkFree Finance Accelerator simulation https://bit.ly/3GoyV5rConnect with Anthony https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonycheung10/Connect with Piers https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierscurran/ Hosted on Acast.

In the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last week, Onward host and Fundrise CEO Ben Miller sits down for an interview with the economist and trader Rob Johnson, one of the most experienced investors in the world at the fault line of government and finance. Having served as a Managing Director of the Quantum Fund, Chief Economist of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, and currently as president of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, Rob has worked closely with policymakers across the entire political spectrum. Ben and Rob use the 1992 breaking of the British pound as a historical reference point and centerpiece for the orbit of their discussion. That event formed out of a collision of geopolitical forces, interest rate policy, and cross-institutional financial interactions, all with significant parallels to the world today. And, as Ben and Rob discuss, the pound's collapse had implications that went far beyond a single bank or country's ability to function — it ushered in a new era of the power and peril of global finance.  Have questions or feedback about this episode?

Tom welcomes back Dale Pinkert to the show. Dale is an experienced commodity and FX trader. He is also head of trader development at Trade Gate Hub. Markets are getting massacred due to the Fed hike. Lately, you can judge how everything else will perform based on dollar strength. Dale questions where the labor force has gone as a result of the great resignation, and if those workers will ever return. We're in a new paradigm but the Fed may be in the Twilight Zone. We're going to need a weaker dollar to see the metals move higher. Dale believes the British Pound has reached the bottom, but the outlook for the Yen may not be that good. He believes US Bond yields could drop from here. If dollar strength continues, the U.S. may be forced to bail out much of the world's financial systems. If rates stay high, we're going to see solvency issues with corporations and governments. Dale discusses the food supply problems and why they are likely to persist for some time. The issues include droughts, war, and a lack of fertilizer. Lastly, he discusses what is needed for the Australian and Canadian dollars to perform better. Australia really needs to see China reopen to the world. Talking Points From This Episode The consequences and lagging effects of Fed rate hikes.Outlook for currencies and why the dollar may be topping.Grains and soybeans may be entering a bull market, which is concerning.Targets for precious metals and the outlook for resource backed currencies (CAD & AUD).

The British government unveils a tax cut plan as its currency drops in value. We then look into what happens when you send hundreds of millions of dollars to the wrong people by accident.

From the BBC World Service: Sterling bottoms out at a low not seen since the U.S. dollar was created 230 years ago. The markets saw a continued sell off of the British currency after huge tax cuts were unveiled by the U.K. treasury last week. And in Italy, Giorgia Meloni seals victory for the far right after touting tax cuts, immigration restrictions and Euroskeptic economic reforms.

Doubts about Britain’s fiscal policy hang over the fall of its currency, the pound. On the side of the U.S., markets experienced a bit of a turnaround after a rugged week. Then, we check in on how the world of social media is trying to catch up to TikTok.

As the world turns to the U.K., the country faces a host of domestic and international economic challenges, but there may yet be some bright spots for investors.-----Transcript-----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Chief Cross-Asset Strategist for Morgan Stanley. Along with my colleagues, bringing you a variety of perspectives, I'll be talking about trends across the global investment landscape, and how we put those ideas together. It's Friday, September 9th at 2:00pm in London.Queen Elizabeth II passed away yesterday. She was the only monarch most in Britain have ever known, a steady constant over a period of enormous global change. She defined an era, and will be missed. The eyes of the world have now turned to the United Kingdom, and they do so at a time when the country is facing an unusually high level of uncertainty.The U.K. economy, which was recently surpassed in size by India, is still the worlds sixth largest. But it's currently being buffeted by a host of economic challenges. Some are domestic, some are international, but combined they create one of the trickiest stories in the global economy.First among these challenges is inflation. Rising costs for energy have driven Consumer prices in the U.K. up 10% year-over-year, but even excluding volatile food and energy, U.K. core inflation is still over 6%. And elevated inflation is not expected to be fleeting. Market-based estimates of U.K. inflation, over the next 10 years, are the highest since 1996.Those elevated prices have driven U.K. interest rates higher, but even so, U.K. rates relative to inflation are still some of the lowest of any major economy, which makes holding the currency less attractive. That has weakened the British Pound, but since the U.K. runs a current account deficit, and imports more than it exports, imported things have become more expensive, creating even more inflationary pressure.The U.K's decision to leave the European Union, its largest trading partner, is another complication. By restricting the movement of labor, it's created a negative supply shock and increased costs. And it has increased the fiction in trading abroad, especially with Europe, making it harder for U.K. exporters to take advantage of the country's weaker currency.The response to all this high inflation will likely be further rate hikes from the bank of England. But this has the potential to feed back into the economy unusually fast. Over here, many student loan payments are tied to the bank of England rate. And the rate on U.K. mortgages is often fixed for only 2 to 5 years, in contrast to the 30 year fixing common in the United States. That means the impact of higher interest rates into higher mortgage costs could be felt very soon.For U.K. assets, the fact that a 10 year U.K. Government bond yields less than a 6-month U.S. Treasury bill, and much less than U.K. inflation, creates poor risk/reward. The Pound could continue to weaken, given all of these myriad economic challenges. But one bright spot might be the equity market, the FTSE 100. Trading at about 9x next year earnings, and benefiting from a weaker currency as many of these companies sell product abroad, we forecast stocks in the U.K. to outperform those in the Eurozone.Thanks for listening.
