[$$] Gold Won't Protect You From Hyperinflation
Venezuela is a perfect current test case for those who believe gold is a good hedge against hyperinflation. The International Monetary Fund projects Venezuelan inflation to reach one million percent this year. The situation is reminiscent of what historically has been history’s paradigmatic examples of hyperinflation, such as Germany after World War I. In 1922 and 1923, the exchange rate between the German mark and the U.S. dollar (which was pegged to gold) rose from 430-to-1 to 433 billion-to-1.

Why bond bulls aren’t scared by the strongest core inflation reading since 2008
Indeed, expectations for inflation over the next ten years, derived from 10-year Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPs, have barely budged from a 2.1% rate even after the core July consumer-price index, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, came in at 2.4% year over year, the fastest since September 2008. “A collective unwillingness to look beyond the CPI release speaks to our ‘too little, too late’ take on any late-cycle spike in consumer prices,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets, in a Monday research note.

Fresh Sell-Off Hits Gold: Is $1,200 the Next Stop?
Gold prices (IAU) have been on a losing spree since mid-April due to the US dollar’s strength and diverging monetary policies in the United States (IVV) and the rest of the world. During the congressional testimony, Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave an upbeat assessment of the US (VOO) economy. The assets are attractive when interest rates (TLT) are high because gold doesn’t generate any income.

Why Second Half of 2018 Could Be Much Brighter for Gold
In the preceding parts of this series, we discussed how gold prices have remained weaker despite escalating trade war fears and geopolitical tensions. Many of these risks stem from the ongoing trade spats, which would create inflationary (TIP) pressures in the economy apart from uncertainty. Gold (GLD) is often seen as an inflation hedge.

How the Yield Spread Changed the Outlook for the Economy
An inverted yield curve, in which short-term yields (SHY) are higher than long-term yields (TLT), is considered as a warning sign for a future recession. The LEI’s economic model uses the yield spread between the ten-year Treasury bond (IEF) and the federal funds rate (TBF) as one of the components. The May LEI report indicated that this yield spread increased from ~1.2 in April to ~1.3 in May. The use of the term “symmetric” along with the inflation target in the May FOMC meeting minutes led to the increase of yield spreads in May.

5 ETF Ideas to Hedge Against Rising Inflation
With inflation on the rise, investors may consider ETF themes that may help diminish the negative effects and diversify an investment portfolio. The consumer price index was up 0.2% from the previous month and 2.8% year-over-year, its biggest annual gain since February 2012. The data “provide further evidence that inflation is moving towards the Fed’s objective,” and the central bank will continue on its gradual rate-hike path, Kevin Cummins, an economist at NatWest Markets, told Bloomberg.

What to Expect for This Week’s Central Bank Meetings
This week is set to be packed with action as the Fed and the ECB (European Central Bank) are scheduled to hold crucial policy meetings. While a quarter-percent rate hike is largely expected, many will be watching for changes in the Fed’s tone on policy, economic growth, and inflation (TIP), and how many rate hikes the Fed is planning for this year. A more aggressive approach to rate hikes by the Fed could be negative for precious metals, including gold.

How Income Investors Can Thwart Inflation with TIPS
With interest rates on the rise, bond values, REITs and dividend-paying stocks have all been pressured lower as a means of adjusting for the prevailing interest rates of the day. It’s one reason why Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS for short is worth a look. Another reason is that, with the inflation outlook being largely uncertain there’s no end in sight to the frustration.

Macro Events That Could Influence Markets This Week
The last three trading sessions in May are likely to be influenced by geopolitical issues rather than economic data. Last week (ended May 25), traders’ sudden realization that the supply decline because of sanctions on Iran and disturbances in Venezuela could be offset by increased production from Russia and OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) countries led to a sharp fall in the energy sector (XLE). This decline could continue if the negative outlook for crude prices persists this week.

Are Rising Bond Yields Affecting Housing Markets?
The 3% ten-year bond yield isn’t a significant level for any reason—it’s a psychological level that has created some market frenzy. The continued increase in bond yields, however, has been worrying stakeholders in the housing (XHB) industry. Recent reports from the housing sector haven’t raised any red flags for the sector at this point, but continued increases in the 30-year mortgage rate along with rising home prices could push prospective buyers away once rates reach higher levels.

Why the FOMC Isn’t Confident about Sustained Inflation Growth
The FOMC’s May meeting minutes indicated that some of its members had turned bearish on inflation (TIP).

If members feel that inflation can’t sustain above 2%, there’s the chance that they could limit the number of rate hikes going forward.
