In my view the US economic “recovery” or restoration was put on “hold”, probably temporarily, to help all the other nations catch a break, or give them some “hope”.
Its all visible in the 6 month abrupt dollar adjustment. The Dollar (and futures markets) are their tools to change prices and values. Literally wage and price controls.
They also control (to a point) increase or decrease in supplies, and increase or decrease in demand, with prices. None of these prices are natural or organic.
This game may also reverse.
