Mish Video: Troubled Currencies (And There are Lots of Them), Gold, Bernanke, Carry Trades, Bubbles
The Fed money is pouring — right back into the US. Over the last few years, Bernanke’s cheap quantitative easing money flowed outward into developing countries. But countries such as India, Indonesia and Thailand have seen currency devaluation of up to 40%. Hedge funds are losing massive amounts of money on QE bets. Just last week India’s currency, the rupee, sank to a record level, prompting the Indian Prime Minister’s attempt to reassure markets, stating “There is ‘no question’ of India going back to an economic crisis experienced in 1991, as its rupee currency is now linked to the market and foreign exchange reserves are adequate.” Nothing is confirmed until officially denied. Bob speaks with Mike Shedlock, author of Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis, about the decline in India’s rupee and emerging markets.
