Even in the latest cycle LIBOR was in alignment as liquidity was needed – until the chop and hard down of 2008 when it did not respond favorably to the mechanics that would normally increase liquidity. LIBOR went the other way. The Dollar and gold spend some time in alignment. This is panic in a broken system. ..... "
