Chamath Palihapitiya asked Scott Bessent what went wrong with the Fed after years of QE - and Bessent pointed to roughly $7 trillion of debt added during the period while asset prices kept getting pushed higher: “I called the Fed the engine of inequality” this is him explaining how...

KEVIN WARSH IS ANOTHER REASON BEHIND THIS MARKET CRASH. Yesterday’s sell off began when the probability of Kevin Warsh becoming the next Fed Chair surged sharply. , This reaction was due to Kevin Warsh’s policy record. Kevin Warsh is not a new name. He served on the Federal Reserve Board from 2006 to 2011 and played a role during the 2008 crisis. Since leaving the Fed, he has been one of the most vocal critics of how monetary policy was handled after that period. He has repeatedly argued that QE inflated asset prices, increased inequality, and mainly benefited financial markets rather than the real economy. He has described QE as a REVERSE ROBIN HOOD policy. He has also said the post 2020 inflation surge was a policy mistake, not an unavoidable outcome. That tells markets he is less tolerant of prolonged ultra easy policy. While Warsh now supports cutting interest rates, his framework is different from what markets are used to. He has opposed for rate cuts combined with balance sheet reduction, not open ended liquidity. This is a big issue. Markets are pricing the risk that rates may come down, but liquidity may not expand the way it has in previous cycles. That combination is not friendly for highly leveraged trades, stretched equity valuations, or liquidity driven rallies. In simple terms: • Trump wants lower rates • Warsh wants tighter balance sheet discipline • Markets fear rate cuts without QE The era of QE is no longer guaranteed. And markets are finally starting to price that reality.

🚨 U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Just WARNED The Fed: Expand the FIMA facility NOW or watch the yen collapse and drag U.S. Treasuries down with it. Japan is bleeding. The U.S. already intervened once… and it failed. Bessent is telling the Fed: “Help prop up the yen with dollar loans or Japan starts dumping American debt.” Now Bessent is publicly pushing the Fed to expand its FIMA repo facility so Japan can borrow massive dollars against its Treasuries, instead of selling them. This isn’t cooperation. This is desperation. What’s really going on: Japan holds over a trillion in U.S. debt. Selling even part of it would spike yields and crush markets. So Bessent wants Fed liquidity to paper over the problem. Extremely risky long-term, terrifying consequences: • Erases Fed independence as the Treasury publicly pressures it to expand facilities for a foreign crisis. • Signals the world’s second-biggest U.S. debt holder is in deep trouble. Markets will test how far this goes. • Turns a temporary tool into a permanent backdoor bailout. The market will force ever-larger interventions. • Risks accelerating a loss of confidence in both the yen and the dollar. BoJ Banker Yuto had earlier warned about forced U.S. interventions and it did indeed happen. He also warned that BoJ has discussed the worst case scenario that considers collapse of creditors trust on U.S. dollars but Washington will never let that happen. The famous City of London banker Lord Belgrave had dropped this exact playbook at the start of the year, suggesting this crisis could very well be planned. He had also revealed that most of the financial crisis are engineered by central banks and IMF. These backstops rarely stop the crisis, they just make the eventual reckoning far bigger.
