You Won’t Believe What The Bank Of Japan Just Did

The Bank of Japan’s very recent change of heart has apparently been strong enough to do the same for incoming Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Sounding aggressively hawkish where it came to interest rates just last week after his surprise ascent, suddenly he’s completely changed his tune. Why? The answer can be found in another record low for a highly critical US$ market.

  1. The EV sector Fast Charging Wed. Nikola up 20 % after strong delivery numbers..Surf Air Mobility up 33 % Wed .. Joby Evtol Jets up 28 %…. Archer Evtol Jets and Blade Evtol Jets up 8 % and Hyln.. Hyliion up 7 %… FREY 5 % and Rivian 2 %. Thumbs Up video/ comments as the Bulls Charge Up.

  2. Japan is the USA's lap dog, and they are told to keep the Yen carry trade alive by their overlord the US government and the US government is owned by the big tech companies who want their over priced stocks to stay propped up.

  3. Things Mr Snider has been wrong about over the past few years but isn't man enough to admit:

    Oil: He has zero understanding of the Oil Market, WTI, Brent, RBOB, Crack Spread, Contango/Backwardation etc. He tries to sound smart talking about Contango, while falsely stating "The IEA's entire job is to sell oil to the world…"  IEA does NOT sell oil.

    US Treasuries/Interest Rates (The Bond Market): Often referring to USTs as "safe and pristine collateral", Jeff and his partner Steve rode the TLT Bond ETF down from the 170's before finally capitulating below 100/share.

    Inflation/Deflation: "It's not that inflation is a small possibility, it's near impossible because we're in deflationary depressionary conditions…people think there's going to be inflation, but there never is…" 

    The CPI was 0.1 YoY when he said that on 5/11/20 and he still, to this day, maintains "It was never inflation".

    Gold: On 4/18/23 he stated "You can't use Gold…"

    Recession: Multiple times Jeff has stated "summertime is the time for recession"; despite the fact that only two of the last ten recessions occurred/started during summer.

  4. Both dems and repubs VOTE TO counterfeit fiat money to pay our national debt… and more. What do we call counterfeiters???? CRIMINALS. Clearly, our discontents stem from this. Donald and Kamala lie about bitcoin…FOLLOW THE MONEY…FIX THE MONEY.

  5. BRICS Summit this Month might be illuminating?
    Asian Markets seem to need a bit less travel time.
    Getting along with the Neighbors looks more profitable
    than fighting for the US Empire.

  6. We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.

  7. OK. That was one of your best videos in a long time. The emphasis on an about face interest rate policy shift in Japan so soon after an election, and against expectations based on who won, (that was a joke), was spot on (that was a joke too). Good job Jeff. You finally caught the tuna. Now it's time to bring it in. 🗾

  8. its all fine in japan.. and its even more fine when u have all your cash in gold.. hardly inflation here in japan !!! cheap housing, cheap and stable food.

  9. America remains the world's largest economy and a slowdown here is likely to spread grief across the globe. It is amazing so many people simply don't understand the dire implications America's slowing economy will have on the world. The article below delves into how other countries manufacture the goods Americans buy which makes America a key component in their economies. Considering much of the global economy is dependent on exports to the US, the world should expect more problems ahead. https://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2024/09/slowing-economy-in-america-to-result-in.html

  10. In the Bible, Revelation 3:9 refers to a synagogue of Satan, which is a group that persecutes the church and claims to be Jewish but is not. The phrase appears in both Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, which are letters to the early Christian churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia.
