Good Morning!
My take on the USD being strong is not that surprising. Sure, if you understand it is a figment of a central bankers mind that has been sold to the masses, it seems like the “safest port in the storm”. But if you have a little understanding of fiat, like pretty much everyone here at the Tent, it is a source of constant wonder to see people pouring into it and not PMs.
For me, it is a clue as to how uneducated most people are and how good a job TPTB have done on misdirecting the general public. Most portfolios only have 1% invested in PMs and see them the same as 3D printing.
If nothing else, the herd will pour into the PMs if for no other reason than they are going up. ie, The public awareness phase of the PM bull market.
Anyway, just my thought this am.
Cheers
