If it stops (injecting money into the repo market by billions of dollars daily), interest rates will rise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armstrong goes on to explain, \u201cThe Bank of Japan came out and said we\u2019re going to buy government bonds unlimited. They, too, are trying to prevent interest rates from rising. . . . The ECB cannot afford rates to go up. . . . This is a global contagion that\u2019s developing, and it\u2019s pretty serious. The rise in interest rates has tremendous implications all the way around the globe. . . . Interest rates are rising because there is increased risk \u2013 period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big risk, according to Armstrong, is global governments, including the U.S. Armstrong says, \u201cYou have to understand, at some point in time, capital begins to figure out who is the greatest risk, and the risk is government. At that stage in the game, when that point is reached, then you have shifts. The capital will move from public types of investments, such as government bonds and things of that nature, and then will move into the private sector. That\u2019s equities, and that can be gold and real estate in different places. You try to go to tangible assets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what could go wrong with the Fed trapped in the repo market and cannot stop liquefying bad debt? Armstrong says, \u201cWhat can go wrong is that they lose the game. They are doing this to try to prevent interest rates from rising. If they did not do this, the short term rate would be up dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fed Trying to Stop Global Economic Contagion \u2013 Martin Armstrong Legendary geopolitical and financial analyst Martin Armstrong says, \u201cThe Fed is trapped.
