Central, IL | Some commentary states the funds will be taking long positions after the new year to hedge inflation concerns. Short the dollar and buy metals, oil, and grains. I understand the logic to this. What I dont understand is as fast as we are printing money why would funds short the commodities at this time?
There is much more consurmer debt (credit cards) now than what there was in the 80's. Therefore the fed cant let interest rates get to far out of control or we will be in a worse recession than now. But if inflation is left unchecked it could run rampant.
Whats your thoughts as I am still trying to comprehend how this works. Would like to hear both sides of the matter.
