Give a simple example to explain why commodity prices have soared:
Assuming that the total amount of money circulating in the market is 1 trillion dollars, if the US government implements quantitative easing monetary policy and prints 1 trillion dollars, the total amount of money circulating in the market will be 2 trillion dollars, and the number of goods in the market will not change greatly in the short term. In other words, if you buy a commodity with the original value of 1 trillion dollars now, the price of natural commodities will be high as long as it is 2 trillion dollars. More specifically, suppose there is only one commodity on the market, with a total of 65,438+billion cars. At present, the total amount of money is 1 trillion, which is equivalent to the price of a car of 1 ten thousand yuan. If you print 1 trillion banknotes at this time, then it is 2 trillion yuan in currency circulation. At this time, the price of a car should be 20,000.
Examples of other goods are just like cars. What I said is relatively simple, but this is the truth.
