Q&A #165
Dollars in emerging economies like Latin America are becoming more difficult to acquire. To the point that government printing is toppling gov. Look at Argentina, Bolivia and soon Brazil? Is it possible that FED/banks will higher the rates? How will a rate cut affect Japan, and how will Japan, if affected, affect US? How can dollars become more accessible to the world to stimulate growth. Or is it the other way around? Should growth stimulate the creation of dollars? What will happen to precious metals prices if basel 3 goes into affect? Is dollar weakness just a short term reaction? I expect the dollar to carry on strengthening? Is any information available on the ratio of bank lending to unproductive assets like real estate to productive sectors of the economy such as small businesses lines of credit?
