World trade experiencing a “huge drop”, according to the World Trade Organization.  Rather than the gloomy 9% predicted earlier this year, volume will likely contract by 10%.

That’s the situation and I’m afraid I can’t read any good news in my trade numbers.

This news doesn’t bode well for any type of recovery. “Jobs picture turns gloomier” say the headlines. The U.S. unemployment rate officially popped up to 9.5% as nonfarm payrolls shed 467,000 jobs in June. The market is tanking today on this “brown shoot”… But the real story is far worse. And as reality seeps into the empty head of Joe Investor it could spell the end for the post-2008 wipe-out sucker’s rally…

As James Davidson points out in Crisis Strategy Alert, the BLS numbers have been massaged, manipulated, and contorted into giving only half the story. He says,

Your co-editor is in Oslo, Norway, after a brief spell in his native Dublin. The contrast is stark.  The Irish economy soared during the good years, helped by low European interest rates and an unusually bubbly property boom.

The fall from grace has been spectacular. Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s recently downgraded Ireland’s sovereign debt to AA with a negative outlook.

The problem is the Irish government is doing its best to emulate Team Obama’s ‘solution’ to the financial crisis: prop up failed banks with capital injections and transfer banks’ bad loans to the taxpayer. As a result, Ireland is expected to see its national debt climb to more than 120% of annual GDP – a level even higher than other AA-rated eurozone countries.

By contrast, in Norway the financial crisis feels like a distant event. Your co-editor has been mightily impressed by how well everything works here. And the Norwegians,

Gold isn’t going to $2,000 an ounce. Before you gag on your coffee or suffer chest pains, allow me to explain.

We’re about eight years into the bull market, and gold has breached the $1,000 level twice and has spent weeks trading above the old high of $850. Some observers are now saying that gold’s pretty much had its day and that once the recession is over, it will retreat for good.

However, the four-digit gold price we’ve seen so far is with no price inflation to speak of, no effects of the atrocious increase in the money supply, and despite a rising dollar. What happens to gold when each of those pictures gets turned upside down – high inflation, excess cash jolting the economy, and a falling dollar?
