It is below 2%... since last month! We shouldn't measure something like that by looking at 1 month of data. The number you've given represents the lowest point of the last 6 or 7 months. For the vast majority of 2018 it was above or at 2% and this is still below the total measured average.
Above 2% doesn't mean 3%.
2.45 is still 16% lower than 3%.
When you put that in trillions it becomes a LOT!!!
And you should always care what the last number is because it shows the direction where things are going!
One is enough if it actually takes place. In my first post I've in fact said that I don't think a bankruptcy will happen and that I believe they will keep delaying it for many years by printing money and bailing out banks, just like they did before. I also did not mean specifically the EU, but also other countries like USA or Russia. All existing fiat currencies are eventually going to overinflate and die, but it can take another 100 years.
Nobody gives a damn about Russia and it's GDP the size of the Netherlands especially since they went bankrupt 2 times already since the 90' and nobody cared. It's like talking about cryptos while watching doge prices.
But I'm going to have to apologize for the confusion about the bankruptcy happening.
Seems like waging war with quotes I'm mistakenly thought you said something which obviously you didn't, so I was debating with god knows what there.
Comparing the EU with Iran and Venezueala...let's not do this!
Because bigger means immune to crysis?
No, because Germany alone has 2/3 of the exports of China!
Because Germany had a bigger budget surplus of 48 Billions in the first semester, do you know how this looks compared to Venezuela? It means the budget surplus of Germany would pay the entire population of Venezuela their monthly wage for 40 years!!!
Seriously, let's not compare a 14 trillion economy of countries that rely on building every kind of machinery in this world with some that survive on building rat traps.
People seem to always forget that gold production has been rising for the past few decades. Right now the inflation rate is over 2% which by most reports is higher than the United States dollar. I know a lot of countries around the world are stockpiling gold but I just don't see it outperforming bitcoin or even the stock market.
Wow, seriously? Never imagined this could be possible, I would have thought of something under 0.1%.
