Implications on U.S. inflation of Yuan/Yen trading (May 27th 2012)

From May 27th 2012

Correct me if I’m wrong but on a combined basis (import/export) wouldn’t that be about $342bn heading straight back into the U.S.?

Where else is it going to go? Russia? Brazil? I think not.

Now $342bn doesn’t sound a lot against annualised U.S. deficits of $1.2trillion but how much of that $342bn will be in M2? In other words over the next 12 months is the U.S. about to face an inbound avalanche of inflation producing cash (and credit)?

Will the FED need to go QE3 with all this cash about to return home?

I don’t think the media economists have thought through the implications of this yet, given the emphasis on the Euro and the (looming) Iran issue.

Note:

one trillion Japanese yen = 12.55600 billion U.S. dollars
12.48ty + 14.78ty = 27.26ty x $12.556bn = $342.27bn gross transaction value.

  1. Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your articles. I wanted to write
    a little comment to support you.

  2. Excellent web site you have here.. It’s difficult to find good quality writing like yours these days.
    I really appreciate people like you! Take care!!

  3. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create
    this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?

    Plz reply as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this
    from. thank you

    1. The website has been built using NetObjects Fusion although the blog uses WordPress technology. On the latter point, if you want to host it yourself you will need a SQL database from your service provider; it’s usually an add-on. I designed it myself. The content is obviously my own as are most of the photos, e.g. the Manhattan landscape was taken while on a work visit to New York. NetObjects provide some standard templates and stock photos although my own preference is to use as few as these as possible. I also like the greyscale look so I converted my colour photos into B/W to standardise across the site. When you do use colour it seems to stand out a lot more. In this case I take the view that ‘less is more’. Learning the software does take some time but not as much as developing content. I decided to invest this time because I wanted the ability to change content without resorting to a third party. It’s really a question of whether you have the time or the interest in building your own site.

  4. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for
    your next write ups thanks once again.

    1. Thanks.

      These were some old posts on an old blog I loaded to get the new blog up and running. I’ve got a ‘day-job’ interest in change management and a ‘hobbyist’ interest in finance, economics and investing. What I have found is that the two worlds are actually more closely related than many realise, a theme I’ve been developing over the past few years.

      I’m currently looking at oil prices and hope to publish a post when I’ve finished my research.

  5. I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
    I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉
    Cheers!

  6. Hi there! I just would like to give you a big thumbs up for the excellent info you have got here on this post.
    I am returning to your website for more soon.

  8. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but great topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
    Thanks for fantastic info I was looking for this info for my mission.

  9. Hey! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your blog posts.
    Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
    Thanks!

  10. Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with
    hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
