China has denied the allegations, which only say that China is "planning to supply Russia with weapons," not that they have actually supplied weapons. But the US doesn't care about reality, only about its own decisions. Ask #Iraq . There were never any #WMD (2/n)

This is due to the critical gap between weighted average deposit rates, which are below 1%, and the current market rate for government and corporate bonds.

This gap creates an incentive for people to redistribute the money supply into alternative financial instruments. And the decrease in the intensity of distribution of helicopter money from the US Treasury & the Fed reducing the balance sheet also contribute to this trend.
