Money is carrier of values, and financial system is the pipe; the US bonds used to be the storage. As the US has been printing too much money, including sporting the war, and the sanctions signal that the pipe can be cut by the government, it is getting difficult to find buyers of the US bonds, which forces to raise the interest rate. It is suggested the devaluation of US dollars will continue, as the government is doing the same. Devaluation of dollars may facilitate the export, which may raise the cost of living in the US, further.
