The major asset classes delivered across-the-board gains for a second month in a row in May. Everything apart from cash was up last month, led by a sizzling rally in foreign inflation-linked government bonds. The FTSE Russell World Inflation Index ex-US surged 4.0% last month, the...

When I stand back and consider what the Fed is actually doing, it leads me to the observation that they are actually monetizing America’s debt. In fact, in my view, they have been doing so ever since the financial crisis of 2008/2009. The Fed can, and does, buy maturities all a...
