Goldman Sachs Repo Derivatives! Global Central Banks Printing $100 Billion Per Month

What a mess. Global central banks are pumping $100 billion per month and I have to see comments, articles, and financial “experts” telling me that the financial system is doing well? Go get your head checked. If you want to suggest it’s not doing well but the central banks are simply covering it up and they can keep it covered up, that’s a whole different story. But to suggest that printing more than ever in history is somehow not a very terrible sign is willful ignorance of the facts.

Sven Henrich on Twitter: “Anyone ever see an announcement by Jay Powell or the Fed that their plan is to expand the Fed’s balance sheet by over $400B in 3.5 months? No? That’s because that statement doesn’t exist. The Fed is engaged in willful miscommunication with the public.” / Twitter
