\n\t* Earlier today we released the most important Non-Farm Payroll report ever, at least according to the media
\n\t* A WSJ article stated that this report could "seal the deal" on rate hikes
\n\t* Interest rates have been at zero for 7 years as the Fed contemplated lift-off
\n\t* It all boiled down to one jobs report?
\n\t* If the Fed were going to raise interest rates in 2 weeks, how can it count on its accuracy or the fact that numbers will change next month?
\n\t* Let's get into the numbers:
\n\t* The number we got was 173,000 - well below the consensus forecast
\n\t* One of the weaker components was private payrolls, which only grew by 140,000 vs and expected 211,000
\n\t* The headline number is the unemployment drop to 5.1% - the lowest in the Obama presidency
\n\t* Once again, the devil is in the details
\n\t* The unemployment rate is falling because of the mass exodus from the labor force
\n\t* Another 261,000 Americans left the labor force this month
\n\t* The participation rate held steady at 62.6%
\n\t* The lowest rate since 1977
\n\t* I think it's heading lower
\n\t* The total number of persons not in the labor force rose to a new record: 94,031,000
\n\t* Also this month another 158,000 Americans find themselves involuntarily employed part-time
\n\t* That's what's responsible for the "improvement" in the labor numbers
\n\t* Janet Yellen specifically wanted to an increase in labor force participation and more full-time jobs before contemplating raising rates
\n\t* Those numbers have gone in the wrong direction
\n\t* Why is nobody pointing this out?
\n\t* This is the 9th month in a row that year-over-year factory orders have declined
\n\t* The only other time that has happened is during recession
\n\t* Every time we've seen a sharp decline in the market accompanied by an increase in the volatility index, the Fed has responded with Quantitative Easing
\n\t* More and more people now do not believe the Fed will raise rates in September
\n\t* If the Fed raises interest rates and the market keeps falling and the economy rolls over, the Fed loses a lot of credibility
\n\t* This is affecting global markets
\n\t* The Dow is now in correction
\n\t* I pointed out in my last video blog that: a) the Fed has never raised interest rates from zero and b)normally the Fed raises interest rates into an accelerating economy
\n\t* This time the Fed is raising interest rates when the economy is weakening
\n\t* This time a rate hike will prick a much larger bubble
\n\t* Even if the Fed raised rates to a quarter of a percent, that is still cheap money
\n\t* The markets are forward-looking and they are not going to like what they see
\n\t* The dollar strengthened on anticipation that the Fed will raise rates
\n\t* America cannot afford higher interest rates on the debt we have now
\n\t* One of the things most people overlook is the huge stockpile of U.Ss treasuries that are held abroad
\n\t* Why do the emerging markets have so may dollars?
\n\t* In the aftermath of the 1997 Asian economic crisis, they bought dollars as a reserve to defend their currency if it started to fall
\n\t* That is happening
\n\t* So now, foreign governments are going to start drawing on their reserves, selling treasuries to shore up their currencies
\n\t* The vast majority of the accumulation happened after QE1, when we had a currency war
\n\t* The media has labeled this sell-off "Quantitative Tightening"
\n\t* China has already started to gradually sell treasuries
\n\t* The Fed has promised not to roll over maturing treasuries and to shrink the $4.5 trillion balance sheet to about a trillion
\n\t* That's $3.5 trillion of Quantitative Tightening
\n\t* Interest rates would have to rise dramatically to attract real buyers to U.S. treasuries
\n\t* No one can afford higher rates,\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Ethos: ethoslife.com/GOLD \n\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
