Not like it should come as any surprise that the bank that first among peers “discovered” that flow, not stock matters, implying the Fed may literally never be able to stop monetizing, is expecting the FOMC to “ease monetary policy on June 20”, but nonetheless here is the full just released Q&A from Goldman’s Jan Hatzius, who just happens to be a Pound and Pence drinking buddy of former Goldmanite Bill Dudley, who just happens to run the New York Fed. Connects the dots. Implicit is that a big dollop of Large Scale Asset Purchases is imminent. That said, if the Fed does disappoint on June 20, and merely extends the maturity of bonds that it will sell as part of a Twist extension from 3 to 4 years, as the bond market appears to be implying (as first warned by Zero Hedge), then all bets are truly off. On the other hand, note where Goldman says: “However, it is also possible that the program would be specified as a “flow” of purchases of perhaps $50bn-$75bn per month.” If that happens, gold is going to $2000, $3000, hell, $10,000 very soon, as it means the Fed will not stop printing ever again. Period.
