With bond markets in full panic and the price of gold surging above $1,500, Albert Edwards just warned about what the next phase of the global “Ice Age” will look like.
The Global “Ice Age”
August 7 (KWN) – Albert Edwards, Former Global Strategist at Societe Generale:
“Many investors simply cannot countenance the possibility the Fed will take Fund Funds negative. The charts suggest otherwise. I’m with the charts. The intensification of this currency war will force the Fed to act to to keep pace with the ECB, even against their better judgement. Negative yields and a currency was always what the next phase of The Ice Age will look like. The final phase will see US yields converge with the Eurozone below zero accompanied by a huge decline in the equity market as global economy plunges into a deep, deflationary recession.”

“Everyone Will Be Buying Gold & Silver”
Peter Schiff: “The Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s 50 basis point rate cut, to a record low 1%, simply to prevent the N.Z. dollar from strengthening, and the costs of living from rising too slowly, was insane. Central bankers have lost their minds. Soon everyone will be buying gold and silver!”
