Dale Pinkert: The Fed Can’t Print Food

Tom welcomes back Dale Pinkert to the show. Dale is an experienced commodity and FX trader. He is also head of trader development at Trade Gate Hub. Markets are getting massacred due to the Fed hike. Lately, you can judge how everything else will perform based on dollar strength. Dale questions where the labor force has gone as a result of the great resignation, and if those workers will ever return. We're in a new paradigm but the Fed may be in the Twilight Zone. We're going to need a weaker dollar to see the metals move higher. Dale believes the British Pound has reached the bottom, but the outlook for the Yen may not be that good. He believes US Bond yields could drop from here. If dollar strength continues, the U.S. may be forced to bail out much of the world's financial systems. If rates stay high, we're going to see solvency issues with corporations and governments. Dale discusses the food supply problems and why they are likely to persist for some time. The issues include droughts, war, and a lack of fertilizer. Lastly, he discusses what is needed for the Australian and Canadian dollars to perform better. Australia really needs to see China reopen to the world.
