Chris Temple addresses the USD downtrend and also looks at the other markets being impacted.

    Pentagon investigators find ‘security risks’ in government’s immigrant recruitment program, ‘infiltration’ feared

    EXCLUSIVE: Defense Department investigators have discovered “potential security risks” in a Pentagon program that has enrolled more than 10,000 foreign-born individuals into the U.S. armed forces since 2009, Fox News has learned exclusively, with sources on Capitol Hill and at the Pentagon expressing alarm over “foreign infiltration” and enrollees now unaccounted for.

    Hi Chris and Cory.

    I found this interesting oppininon on why the Phillips-curve has broken:

    The inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation, identified by the Phillips curve, has changed. The global economic recovery is one of the longest on record. Unemployment has fallen in many countries but this has not led to wage inflation. Among the reasons is that older workers are staying in the labour market for longer but negotiate less aggressively on wages than the young. This lack of wage inflation may impede interest rate normalisation, which could have implications for policy manoeuvrability when the next recession hits.

    I am very interested in hearing your point of view 🙂
