This is good. The Fed is using the only blunt tool it has to slow inflation. Hiking rates. We are the victims but there’s not much else it can do other than cause a recession to slow demand.

Rate hikes cannot kill inflation when trillion-dollar government deficits keep pumping liquidity right back into the system.

I’m a server and it’s bleak. I’m taking a few weeks for surgery after 4 years trying to get here. Hoping to see better news on the other side.

this guy is full of shit. the Fed doesn't set rates for auto loans, mortgages, etc. as he falsely implies in the video. he's also wrong that inflation is being driven solely, or even primarily, by the War in Iran. Warsh explained that in his remarks.

Yes it does because it affects the 10 year bond which sets rates.

this time the Fed's rate increase affected the 10 year bond by bringing its yield DOWN!

And sometimes it’s the opposite

right. the overnight rate is one of many factors market participants use in determining the yields they demand on treasuries. so it has an impact, not always in the same direction. flatly wrong for him to suggest the Fed SETS those rates, or a rate hike always increases them.

Literally this happens every time. We overdo it and people flock to bonds at the end.

Fuel shortages should cool the economy…

Definitely. It’ll stop it

Should've hiked more of that is the intended outcome

Although supply shocks do affect prices, isn’t the real inflation problem excessive, deficit-financed government spending? What is your view on that variable? If inflation can be reduced by cutting government spending, why not do it?

Basterebbe far scendere wall street del 25% e mantenere quei livelli per 6 mesi. Ma per farlo, con questi livelli di fomo, serve qualcosa di forte e contrario. Alla fine la recessione è la più facile e dolorosa ai meno abbienti...😢

Consequences of electing an idiot

Austerity for the people. Thank you crony capitalism.

We are in a recession now dipshit. Actually, the real numbers look more like depression era.

Yes. Which is why I am confused how you constantly advocate for rate increases? Recession or bust at this point.

Come one guy. Tell them what would have happened if they lowered rates and the real situation we're in ... Lowering the rate would have cause an inflationary spiral. We're already fucked

Raising rates is meant to address a overheating economy by raising the cost of capital Rate hike is addressing the wrong problem

They could lower their balance sheet...

That's also never going to happen.

Trump world ..

Doesn’t always work. You can get stagflation!!!

The worst supply shock ever. Nothing comes close.

Why don’t any of these commentators focus on the biggest supply problem? The ever expanding Money Supply? Given the woes that the gent cites, forclosures, etc., who is still borrowing all the money, which creates the deposits, which is money supply, which is causing the excessive creation? All this nonsense about tighter money not producing another barrel of oil or opening the Hormuz Straight? Yes, the energy thing is boosting inflaation and has been for the last six months. But inflation has been running above the Fed’s target for almost SIX YEARS. The only tool the Fed really has is interest rate policy. Set rates at a level where folks decide to curtail borrowing. And with it deposits and money supply growth. And that’s what Warsh and Co plan to do. Wednesday was just the beginning. Expect another 50 beeps next month. This is the problem ⬇️
Inflation in housing and auto price didn’t come from this war.

Yes, higher rates increase borrowing costs, but they also tend to drive down the stock market and reduce the the actual price of things, like houses overtime and America is in desperate need of price reductions across-the-board.

@JDXReport You should do a bit more editing to your ChatGPT script so you don’t sound just like it. This is live read AI slop

Agree w/ his premise, but 1/4 FFR over night bank rate is not going to change a thing even if it wasn't supply driven. You see it's impact didn't even last a day. The Feds real blunt tool would be selling their bond holdings. That would change bond rates enough to matter.
