Inflation Rally Thrives Another Day

This morning the major stock market indexes are all trading sharply higher before the open. The catalyst for this early rally by the media is the as positive news out of China. While the China news might be what the media points to as the catalyst for a rally it is the weakening U.S. Dollar Index that is the catalyst if you ask me. This morning the U.S. Dollar index is trading lower by another 0.35 cents to $81.17. The U.S. Dollar has now declined over $7.50 from its June high when it traded as high as $88.70. As many of you know when the dollar declines the major stock market indexes inflate higher. SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) are now higher by more than 10.0 percent since the July low pivot.

The stock market has become a market of extreme swings in both directions. When declines or sell offs occur they are usually violent in fashion. Just look at the May 6th flash crash when the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 1000 points in a few hours before recovering over half of the intra-day decline. Take this recent rally from the July lows as another example of an extreme move higher. A few years ago a ten percent move was the most that an investor could expect for the year in an index and now we see that type of rally in less than thirty calendar days.

Remember the declining dollar is the driving force behind ever stock market move higher. Certainly a positive Shanghai Index (China) trading higher does not hurt the inflation rally as many believe that China is the savior of the market right now. Remember as long as China continues to grow investors believe that they will consume more commodity products. Just look at Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (CLF) which is a leading iron ore pellet producer and you can see the stock is trading higher by 2.03 to $58.61 a share. When China rallies higher expect the commodity stocks to rally as well. Right now stock the stock markets are holding up well. However, when the music stops playing in the communist nation and the bloated fiat currencies around the globe start to lose their inflationary power this rally should come to an end.
