Today’s hawky-dove announcement by The Fed (raises rates by only 25 basis points, but hints that many rate hikes are around the corner.
The US Treasury 10Y-5Y curve has slumped to zero as inflation climbs and the number of rate hikes hits 7. Do I detect a trend?
And then there is the USD OIS curve. Steep much?
And electric battery metal, nickel, is surging … again. Up 66.25%.
When they made Narcos, Pablo Escobar should have said “Nickel or Lead” instead of “Silver or Lead.”

Good, good.
That should wreck everything even faster.
Print more money to make payments.

Nickel is also what rocket engines and jet turbines are fashioned.

Not a lot of economically exploitable Nickel deposits in the USA, so he would be wasting his money.

3 years? Hahahahahahaha! At the rate that we’re getting involved in Ukraine, we’ll be lucky if there isn’t a full-scale nuclear exchange by Summer.

Interestingly, the metal value of a nickel with today’s price increases is almost exactly $0.09.

“Do you know what year they quit putting nickel in our nickels?”
Mid-1942 through 1945. Then the mint returned to the standard composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel. They are STILL making it that way, so every single nickel except the ones mentioned above are worth at least $0.09 in melt value (though it is illegal to melt them, at least now); the ones above were made with 35% silver, and are currently worth about $1.41 each...and, yes, you can still occasionally find one in circulation, though they are very rare. To do that, you need to buy boxes of nickels on a regular basis ($100 for 50 rolls) and hope that the bank gives you circulated coins instead of brand new stock from the Mint.

Thank you. Great info. I thought the newer nickels didn’t have nickel in them because they sure feel different than the older ones, e.g., 1990s, etc.

Batteries? Nickel is an important allowing element to stainless steels. We don’t absolutely need electric cars.
