    Do you know what is the largest market in the world?. The Bond market, there are over $300 trillion of global debt, and more than $200 Trillion of that debt is dollar-denominated.

    Guess which EU country had been loading up on US-bonds like it was a fire sale? You guessed it, Tory government has been purchasing US-bonds with your tax money like there's no tomorrow.

    Many are expecting the dollar to increase in value in the coming recession because that's what the smart money does, shelters under the umbrella of the dollar. But now the US bond market has reached a level where great losses will be felt by the slightest negative percentage shift. What would cause that? Is anyone looking.

    There's a very good reason why Germany is not owning much US debt and for that matter repatriated their gold.

    Here's the question no is asking. What if, what if the value of the dollar goes down instead up of in coming recession? The US Bond market would cause a global sheet storm not seen before since the late 1930's.

    Why would it happen? There's a very good reason for it to happen, and it's all to do with the US this time rather than the rest of the world.

    Hint: Germany isn't really acting as if it gives much of a crap about Brexit. That's because it doesn't. Politicians are wising up to the fact that in most European countries polls suggest that people want the UK out. They've had enough of the frankly embarrassing UK shennanigans.
