MacroVoices #553 Brent Johnson: Disparate Housewives

Johnson argues the dollar can run higher as Fed-Treasury coordination deepens and gold revaluation becomes a held-in-reserve policy option.

  • Dollar breakout confirmed: The DXY closed above 102, which Johnson attributes to Fed Chair Warsh raising rates for credibility, scarce global alternatives (Europe, Japan, China), and AI-driven growth optimism lifting yields.
  • Gold at inflection: Gold sits near $4,100, having formed a golden cross; Johnson bought gold for a client but warns a dollar move to 110 DXY could push gold to $3,700.
