SNB & CHF

USD/CHF trades near a three-week low. Bearish MACD, failures to carry the latest recovery keep sellers hopeful, 50-day SMA acts as near-term key support. 200-day SMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement act as near-term key resistances. USD/CHF remains on the back foot around 0.9740, down 0.25%, during the initial trading session on Thursday. That said, the quote fails to carry the previous day’s recovery gains. Even so, a 50-day SMA level of 0.9737 acts as the near-term key...

The greater the excesses, speculative euphoria and moral hazard, the greater the reversal. A very convenient conviction is rising in the panicked financial netherworld that the Federal Reserve and its fellow dark lords will “save the market” from COVID-19 collapse. They won’t. I already explained why in The Fed Has Created a Monster Bubble It Can No Longer Control (February 16, 2020) but it bears repeating. Contrary to naive expectations, the Fed’s primary job isn’t...

This article is part of the Understanding Money Mechanics series, by Robert P. Murphy. The series will be published as a book in late 2020. In chapter 5 we reviewed the textbook analysis of how a central bank buys government debt in “open market operations” to add reserves to the banking system, with which commercial banks can then advance loans to their own customers.
