Towards a new permanent banking crisis, the “bubble” in commercial real estate is bursting
What the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, said on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, after the two-day meeting of American policy makers, contained nothing comforting.

On December 13, the financial world was stunned when, just two weeks after Jerome Powell said it was “premature” to make assumptions about interest rate cuts, the Federal Reserve made a shocking U-turn, heralding the end of monetary tightening – even though inflation is at levels twice the 2% target. The Federal Reserve’s 180-degree U-turn …
The battle with inflation and recession is becoming increasingly difficult
The entire financial press’ narrative of a “soft landing” of the economy – US and global – and avoidance of recession is fostered through the “uses” of the FED and ECB, with the former fueling investor expectations for aggressive rate cuts in time that has simply put a “brake” on their rise. What they cannot …
How did the FED destabilize the world economy, enrich the elites, crush the middle class?
The abundant but declining currency printed by Central Banks around the world, starting with the 2020 pandemic crisis, has fed the monster of inflation, which threatens to choke economies and the world.
