Deflationary Pressure Short Term - I am not seeing Inflation
Every morning, the first thing i check is the US Dollar index, not the VIX as the dollar index is an indicator for me where things are headed. We are at a critical junction right now as once the dollar index breaches above 85 index it is going to head towards 90 putting further pressure for the precious metals, S&P, and the euro.
As I had mentioned before that the Commodity cycle peaks every 30 years. The last time the commodity cycle peaked was in the year 1980. The dollar bear market rally started right where the commodities cycle ended in 2011 which I believe will last into 2016 - 2018 right where the 18 year bear market cycle will come to an end for the S&P.
The Central Fund of Canada is the representation for the Gold/Silver Chart.
The U.S. Dollar Index - Currently at 84.774
