The share of unemployed Americans on furlough, in fact, surged to 78.3%—up from 26.5% in March, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In a research note, a Bank of America economist noted that the high number of temporary layoffs is a “silver lining.” Keeping workers attached to their employers means potentially a faster road to recovery for the US economy, as workers won’t have go through the hassle of looking for a new job or training for a new skill.

Bank of England predicts worst contraction since 1706

Investopedia/Deborah D’Souza/5-7-2020

photo of door to the Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, London“The Bank of England also revealed a bleak outlook for the country in its May Monetary Policy report, its first since the outbreak. It expects the economy to contract by 25% and the unemployment rate to more than double to around 9% in the second quarter. GDP is expected to fall 14% for the year as a whole. This would make it the biggest slump the nation has seen since it contracted 15.3% in 1706 at the time of The War of Spanish Succession. U.K. GDP declined 4.2% in 2009 during the financial crisis.”

USAGOLD note:  If somebody would have told you a year ago that the Bank of England would issue a statement like the one headlined above, would you have believed it?

“Today we’re back again in that territory; as of this morning, the ratio is 110:1, and it’s been as high as 120 or more in recent weeks. This ratio may stay elevated for a while, or even go higher. But in the past, the ratio has always returned to more traditional levels. Always. Even when the world was facing Adolf Hitler or the Great Depression. So it stands to reason that, if they keep printing money (which they already are), and the ratio eventually returns to its historical range, the price of silver could really skyrocket. …and it won’t be due to the economy.”
