Kuroda Says Bank of Japan Will Consider Buying Derivatives

Kuroda Says Bank of Japan Will Consider Buying Derivatives - Bloomberg

Massive deflation abyss is causing the BOJ to think about buying derivatives. This can be risky, but surely the banks that buy interest rate derivatives have a vested interest in keeping interest rates low. So, if that is the case, how will the BOJ stop inflation if it happens? After all, raising interest rates while holding a boatload of adjustable swaps doesn't seem smart.

John Mauldin Discusses What Could Go Wrong

This article was first published by me on Talkmarkets: http://www.talkmarkets.com/content/bonds/john-mauldin-discusses-what-could-go-wrong?post=118623&uid=4798

John Mauldin published an article regarding the economics of Donald Trump. I share many of his views. I think the article deserves to be discussed further.

It isn't as if John Mauldin is happy with the continual drive toward negative yields and the new normal. I believe he is like many, willing to fight for higher interest rates within reason and within the economic boundaries that exist. He is on board with the Fed, unlike other central banks, and is willing to risk recession to avoid negative rates:

The Poison of Trump Comes From Murray Rothbard, Fascist Divider

There is further study in the articles I have cited for you at the end of this article.

It is slightly muddled, but overall quite accurate in its assessment of Libertarian Murray Rothbard:

I have both religious and non religious reasons for taking this stand. And the court absolves me of racism. After all my natural father was Jewish. And more and more Jews hate Zionism. And Zionism is quite multiracial at this point.
