The irony of how much provably “fake news” has come out from this administration about progress (or lack thereof) in the manufactured conflict on the Middle East is not lost on me. The market is the truth machine and we continue to see it calling the bluff on the claims of progress made. The only chart that matters is very simple to understand. Interestingly, bitcoin is catching a bid this week. Maybe some sovereigns are paying attention and noticing how helpful a neutral money might be if these conflicts continue to boil up.
