They have no choice. Can't have cheap money and high inflation. Who is going to loan money at 3% if inflation is 4%? Nobody.

Takes rates to 7.5 and watch how fast we get there.

If we cut rates this year say goodbye to the American economy

Powell will go down in history as the Big Inflation Fool.

The FED can hike its target inflation rate all it wants but investors won't sleep on that. They will demand more yield to offset the higher inflation which will also crash the price of bonds and make a pile of banks insolvent when nobody wants their 10 year paper paying 1%. Furman is a clown.

Corelationship between high employment rate and inflation rate, that was the intend Fed wants 5 yerars ago.

There is no need to laugh Becky, Steven Seagall didn't just took out the two most largest increases just because they were the largest increases, but because they were the most lagging indicators in his view.

Tbh they should raise by another 50 basis points, and they shouldn't wait to do so...

5% is the new normal, and the old normal. People are refusing to accept 5% is the goal.

Higher interest rates are not going to bring down the 3 highest cost concerns: gas, food, housing. Biden admin needs to face that head on. Food chain gouging, oil company profits, and lack of reasonable housing. Billionaires are buying up multiple houses, wtf? You do have to wonder how Costco regularly runs out of $2K gold bars even with limits on how many individuals can buy per month. People are driving around in luxury cars, but probably complain about the economy while doing it. Stock market regularly hits new highs. But your average American feels the cost of the big 3. Add child care and you have a lot to complain about, and again, interest rates don't fix any of that. On the other hand you hear nothing from Trump on what he would do to fix it; more gas production is already happening, more than his admin ever produced.

If only Democrats were still listening to Larry Summers instead of Bernie Sanders😏

Our economy is strong and doing well but one of those consequences of that is inflation. I would rather deal with inflation than job loses. Because even if millions lose their jobs there isn't any incentive for companies to lower commodity prices. We'll still be struggling to pay for milk and eggs. The government would then have to issue stimulus and unemployment $$$.

I am glad you are ok with inflation. But a lot of people are being hurt by it big time. So far i am ok. But you act like no one is being hurt. What the government and the fed have done to America is unforgivable. Inflation is a regressive tax that hurts the most vulnerable.

The average cost of a home in 2017 was 125 Bitcoin. In 2022, 20 Bitcoin. Maybe folks should be asking Powell why inflation?

I think 5%-10% is our future for a very long time. Is that really that bad? Retirees can earn a few bucks and believe it or not, cd income will help reduce Medicare recipients Medicaid rolls. Many qualify for assistance because of the lack of interest income. Those hidden unintended consequences.

Astonishing the experts are wrong time and again on this. Apart from that stock market is teetering on all time highs and also expects a rate cut on top. Nuts.

I expect that soon, talking heads will start talking about why the Fed should raise its inflation target to above 2%. This will just be a back door way to argue that the Fed should cut the Fed Funds rate.

@jonathantaylor6926

Ай бұрын

It's not that easy. The FED can hike its inflation target no problem but there would be consequences. Bond traders will not just ignore that- they will demand more yield. Right now the 10 year UST is paying 4.5%. Bond investors buy the 10 year paying 4.5% under the assumption that the FED will get inflation back to its 2% target. That 10 year bond should pay a real yield (4.5 - 2) of 2.5% for several years. But if the FED alters its target inflation goal to 3% now the real yield (4.5-3) would be 1.5% and bond investors can't and won't eat that... they will demand higher yields or not buy the security. The 2% target is an entirely arbitrary number but it's a significant number because current yields are all based on that 2% target.. changing that target would upend the entire system badly- because in bond yields and bond price are inversely related.. so not only do yields spike the second the FED talks about their new "3% target inflation rate" but the price of existing bonds will collapse as yields across the entire curve spike in response to the FED actions.
