Trump Unveils Economic Strategy on FOX Business

In an interview with FOX Business, former President Trump outlined his plans to rejuvenate the U.S. economy:
Taxes: Trump highlighted his past tax cuts, claiming they led to increased revenue and economic growth. He reiterated support for tax-free tipped wages and suggested that further tax cuts could stimulate the economy and aid in debt reduction.
Tariffs: Trump proposed a reciprocal tariff policy, where the U.S. would impose equivalent tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on American goods. He argued that this strategy would protect U.S. interests and address trade deficits with countries that he claims mistreat the U.S., including both adversaries and allies.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Trump criticized the push for all-electric cars, pointing out dependency on China for EV production and advocating for a mixed approach that includes hybrids and gasoline-powered vehicles. He argued that while electric cars have their place, they are currently too expensive and impractical for widespread use.
Cryptocurrency: Trump sees a significant potential for cryptocurrency in the U.S. economy, criticizing the Biden administration's approach to regulation. He believes that embracing crypto could position the U.S. as a global leader in this emerging market.
Overall, Trump's economic plan focuses on reducing government waste, implementing strategic tax and tariff policies, diversifying the automotive industry, and embracing technological innovations like cryptocurrency to boost national economic growth and security.

US Sanctions Risking systemic collapse

Russia could ask for rubles or gold in exchange for energy. If that occurred Europe would have little choice. The real leverage in the Petrodollar system is on the 'petro' side.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. If energy payments begin moving outside of the SWIFT system, then the Petrodollar will be severely damaged.
Regardless, it's going to be disruptive and we're going to see additional problems. Very likely we will see further money printing and more stagflation.
The United States' attempts to simultaneously take on both Russia and China is a bad idea. We're forcing the two of them together while Europe is trying to play both sides. This situation will end with China and Russia gaining status.
Russian citizens have also been buying gold. This crisis will hurt their citizens, but this isn't Russia's first rodeo. The fact that Putin has done this either means he's lost his mind or he has a plan and found a window of opportunity.
We could see serious spillover effects on bonds and real yields.
The United States can't afford higher rates, and they can't remove Russia's oil without destroying their own markets.
We could see big changes should Russia use their gold as leverage. Possible scenarios that could occur should gold be revalued.

Fed testing FooWire blockchain with Hyperledger

Federal Reserve detailed FooWire distributed ledger experiment designed to test whether the technology is suited for payments application.
The team built the system using Hyperledger Fabric, a popular DLT platform, because it generally met the team's design requirements of a closed network, mature technology, and enterprise readiness. The experiment highlighted the potential of DLT for certain payment uses, the quick speed with which a system could be implemented, the potential simplicity of smart contracts, and the range of functionality offered by such platforms. It further highlighted the need for more experimentation to better understand the possibilities for wide-scale adoption and use of any DLT platform for payments.

A Monetary System as Good as Gold

The gold standard provides a better anchor for inflation expectations without an obvious cost in terms of lower output or higher unemployment.
The gold standard isn't perfect. No system is. But it has many virtues. A strong case can be made that it's the best of all feasible institutional alternatives. Lawrence White, puts it: The gold standard is still the gold standard among monetary systems.
