The price of gold, already heading for the previously unthinkable $3000 per troy ounce barrier in February, is currently flirting (within $20) the $3700 barrier.

The Value of the Euro against the US dollar at the same time was about $1.04. Now, it is over $1.18.

The two together indicate that we've got trouble, right here in Capital City. It's quite a mess, and that ends with S" and that stands for stagflation.
