The rise in oil prices, the rise in the US dollar index and the low mood of users are all reflected in the performance of Nasdaq futures. Since the CPI data was released earlier, there has been a continuous decline. At present, there are barely signs of stopping the decline, but it is not yet confirmed and needs to be observed. So far, the only good news in the market is that the US federal government budget deficit expanded to $220 billion in August, which is also some pressure on the Fed!
Although the increase in expenditure is less than the increase in income, the US government's fiscal deficit in August is still close to $220 billion, equivalent to 65% of the US government's income in that month.
The current financial situation of the US government has long collapsed in other countries, but for the United States, it is equal to nothing. The fundamental reason lies in the hegemonic position of the US dollar. As the Federal Reserve raises interest rates sharply, the interest payable on US Treasury bonds will also rise sharply, and there is still room for further increase in the proportion of US government fiscal deficit to income.
The question now is, will the infinite expansion of US Treasury bonds really not affect the value of the US dollar?
If one day, the fiscal deficit of the United States exceeds the fiscal revenue of the United States, and at the same time, the proportion of the US dollar in international trade payments drops sharply, leading to a sharp reduction in the US dollar reserves, will the US dollar collapse?
These huge funding gaps require US Treasury bonds to borrow new debts to repay old debts. According to the calculation of the US Budget Office, if the new $65,438 +0.2 trillion infrastructure plan is successful, it will increase the deficit by $256 billion every year, which will completely change the fiscal deficit paid by the US government beyond recognition. The so-called deficit reduction plan of the US government is completely bankrupt; The Ministry of Finance may face serious problems? Make ends meet? Status!
Some netizens believe that as long as the nuclear-powered banknote printing machine in the United States is still there, it can print banknotes at full load; As soon as the printing press is turned on, good things will come naturally.
There is no need to worry about the American economy. It is not a problem to repay the debt of $28.5 trillion. As long as each family issues a printing machine and everyone prints together, the problem will be solved soon. Of course, this is a joke. In fact, every penny printed in the United States needs to be approved by Congress. Excessive printing of money will eventually lead to hyperinflation; There was a one-year hyperinflation of 27% in American history, which directly reduced the wealth of all Americans?
