They should act now while it's not completely hopeless and could still be controlled.
@@KyleDunnIt Of TWO choices. I get your point, but you have to listen to El-Erian carefully when he sets up these binary choices. In any case, place your bet! As Mohammed (if he is telling us his choice accurately) is betting not on inflation, but in recession, given his equity choices.
The stock market is still overvalued, that's the piece of the puzzle he seems to be ignoring. Low corporate taxes and high stock values are inflationary. Without price stability the economy is broken. A 20% correction is not the market breaking.
Mr Ferro and Mr El-Erian make the world of finance visible to ordinary people in a delightful manner. What I take away from this vocast is Mr El-Erian's 'loser/loser' comment about the Fed's latest actions. Chairman Powell seemed so uplifted and positive in his latest announcement and then we hear from Mohamed El-Erian that recession is a probable outcome. It's hard for us outside the world of finance and markets to understand how bad things are going to get because of decisions at the top which will not make things better but turn the world upside down. The French have an expression "jamais deux sans trois". Never two things without a third. We've had a pandemic and it's still poking its ugly head above the clouds and now a war in Ukraine and I hesitate to predict that there just may be a doozy of a recession waiting in the wings. Boys and girls, we will get through these world-shattering events, but I fear the world will be a much different place when we emerge to the other side of these Earth-shattering developments. It's an opinion.
Brilliant analysis as usual from El-Erian, my favourite economic commentator. I do agree. FED has lost it. They are demonstrating FOMC after FOMC, speech after speech that they are always behind, always reactive instead of proactive, never able to anticipate correctly. It is as if they were long on equities and that they are too afraid to handle the inflation issues because you know if stock markets go down that would bad... The idea that stock markets would always go higher is laughable. Sooner or later, stagflation or recession will hit and the FED will be like oohhh we're sorry, we did our best...
There are two main reasons for the onset of global inflation: one is affected by the epidemic, the U.S. economy is in recession, the Federal Reserve printed a lot of money, putting $3 trillion into the market last year and another $1.9 trillion into the market this year, which led to the rapid depreciation of the U.S. dollar, and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar led to a huge increase in the price of global commodities denominated in dollars, which also directly pushed up the price of global raw materials. Another is that, due to the global economic downturn, central banks have followed the example of the U.S. and implemented loose monetary policies in order to bring their economies back up, which has also directly led to the advent of inflation in various countries. Faced with the advent of inflation in the United States, many experts suggest that people can invest in real estate and gold. However, we believe that this advice is not feasible. First of all, the property, three or four tier cities due to population outflow than inflow, investment in real estate is too risky, while the price of houses in first-tier cities is often seven or eight million or even tens of millions, the average person simply can not afford to buy, the money to pay the down payment is not enough. In addition, real estate is now facing regulation and control, and has begun to see results, the price of housing around the beginning of differentiation, coupled with the majority of people have entered an aging society, the overall supply of property is greater than demand, the probability of the future rise in housing prices is not great, the good days of investing in property with eyes closed to make money has passed. Then look at the investment in gold, by the impact of the depreciation of the dollar, international gold prices rose sharply, once to the end of last year's $ 2060 / ounce, and then began to fall from the high, at present, the international gold price is $ 1797 / ounce, has been at a historical high. And if investors want to invest in gold, they should wait for the international gold price to fall to below $1200/oz. What's more, U.S. gold is a niche market, you buy gold easily, to sell gold is very difficult. The U.S. gold stores basically do not recycle gold, and the U.S. banks only recycle their own gold bullion, but also add fees and identification fees, so that investment in gold bullion is basically unprofitable. So in the face of inflation, how do we deal with it? First, store appropriate food at home. For example, save some grain and flour Of course, now there is no need to hoard a lot of grain and flour, enough for a month or two to eat can be, because too much grain hoarding will be damp and moldy, appropriate hoarding some can be. Secondly, people nowadays can do some part-time jobs so that they can increase their income and counteract inflation. Of course, if you have a certain understanding of finance, history and other fields, you can try to invest into finance to earn extra income. In short, inflation is coming, salary income does not rise, only through part-time jobs to deal with inflation. Third, keep some cash on hand, but also learn how to manage money to counteract inflation. Because there is some cash in hand, you can buy the necessities of life, and if people are sick, they can get timely medical treatment. And inflation period, often accompanied by economic downturn, the asset bubble will burst, if there is enough cash in hand, you can wait until the asset bubble fell to the lowest in history, and then low absorption, so it is likely to speculate to the bottom of history. Of course, while the inflation can also learn about financial management, so that you can also be through the financial gains to counteract inflation.
Maybe it’s time to admit that Powell, the Fed and the talking heads don’t really know what’s going on in the economy or has any clue about inflation? They have let the system get too financialized, too complicated and far far too indebted.
Very simple a free market capital system was not meant to be manipulated. Just the concept of a "Central Bank" and a free market system will never work. The great depression was a manifestation of natural boom and bust cycles. We keep wanting to avoid the economic bust that actually humbles a society and reminds us to be grateful, self reliant and have a simple work ethic. I'm afraid the we have no clue now what's coming.
Stagflation is the wrong diagnosis. This is not the 70s, labor share of income is at a low, not at a high as it was in the 70s. Private debt is at a high, not a low as it was in the 70s. Wage driven inflation is definitely not the enemy, it would be a welcome sign that debt is being paid back, the economy is becoming more resilient, and demand is picking up. Apart from energy inflation, the inflation we have makes it look like the Fed's money printing is going to propping up the markets at the expense of the real economy. Fundamentally, what's been happening is we've been dumping ever more debt on the public since the Volcker shock to compensate for flat income growth. After we rode interest rates all the way down to near 0%, the debt market becomes effectively saturated, so that's not going to work anymore, and the Fed resorted to money printing. Well, the problem is structural, then. Over the long run, it makes no sense for house prices, market prices to increase, while incomes and private debt load are flat. If the money printing were going to increasing wages, and paying back debt, we'd be completing the economic circle, and setting the stage for another era of economic growth. Instead, we're using money printing to prop up the markets at the expense of the real economy. I don't think this ends well at all. If we are to accept that the Fed, and central banks, are to manage the economy instead of elected governments, then I think we have to acknowledge that they don't really have the tools to dig out of this mess. Because they're not sending that money to the places where it would be really effective. I think if you want central banks to continue to manage the economy, they need to be granted a mandate to distribute money widely to the general public, in the form of UBI, or some kind of universal dividend, in circumstances where interest rates are near 0%. If you want elected governments to fix this issue, be wary that some of these governments will have some funny ideas about how to effectively get money to the working class. Historically, this is the time for war making.
Nothing more dangerous than wages chasing prices. Also the participation rate of labor says 34% unemployment. The u.s. is headed to an inflationary depression. Way far worst than 70's or even 1929 since it will be inflationary.
@@eljefe5858 The entire world has been mired in the Denial Depression since 2008-09. Trillions of dollars in wealth was evaporated on a worldwide scale and all Congress did was hand the keys to a new car to the drunks on Wall Street that drove the car into the ditch and totaled it.
@@generalyan7084 yes but the problem is all the shortages in commodities....if rates shrink the demand back down...we are looking a recession level demand
Sheesh! we are at .25% fed funds and QE is going to end. To normalize rates a little won't throw us in to recession unless we're on our way regardless. He must be long bonds or something...
Everything's in a bubble, the 10 year Treasury at 2.5% will pop it for sure...but I do believe the air is seeping out already. Hold tight to your pancake coin.
The 3.5% unemployment is not accurate. It hasn't been updated in ages. It does not factor in the recent Great Resignation in which nearly 50 million people have quit their jobs in the past two years. That pushes the number well above 20%. So the Fed really needs to be _dovish_ rather than tanking the economy.
Maybe using debt to expand the money supply by lowering interest rates for 40 years and encouraging the public to borrow ever higher multiples of their income was a mistake. Perhaps if the money supply needs to constantly expand in order to keep prices rising at 2% and output growing then maybe the government should spend more money domestically. Debt to income has been trending up whilst the cash rate has trended down to 0% for 4 decades now. Debt to income multiples have been growing all over the world for decades. The government combined with the fed have the ability to print money, why do they need to rely on commercial bank's lending practices? What happens when we can't lower the interest rate any further, the Fed just prints money and dumps it into the bond market to increase borrowing? This is idiotic, Milton Friedman was wrong.
That would have been a sound discussion if the goal was responsible fiscal and monetary policies. Unfortunately I think they've in the Roman "let them eat cake" mode for those 40 years now. Politicians more worried about expanding their personal power than anything else.
Inflation is eviserating our economy. Do you truly believe increased inflation should be allowed to fester. Rents up 500 a month. People will not have a dime to purchase or sustain ant real growth in our economy.
I'm just saying. Bernanke was a Harvard / MIT trained economist who dedicated his life studying the Great Depression and the economic stagnation of Japan. I wasn't fond of Yellen but at least she was a Harvard / LSE trained economist and an expert in the field. Compared to his predecessors, Powell is a joke with his JD from Georgetown. I'm just saying.
USD is worlds reserve currency and the petrodollar. the irony is our push to green tech/EV our infrastructure, which is inevitable bc east is moving to all EVs....but were basically telling OPEC to fuk themselves. what do you think oil exports that peg crude price to USDs only will do wit their USD/USTY reserves? feds cant do anything
He’s no magician. And neither is anyone else. You are still stuck with a number of unpalatable choices. You’re going to have to balance any portfolio with Stocks, bonds, commodities and cash. His advice is to lighten up on equities. If you have the stomach for some volatility, then go to commodities. If not, then cash and short term bonds in a mix. He was describing what asset managers have to do, not what an individual might do. Individuals do not have annual performance reviews, they have (presumably) longer time horizons.
As usual, the long sighted El-Erian is providing ammo to a condescending FED. They will make use of his comment to create new narratives and try to have it their way. They are so lucky to have people that give them well thought through suggestions. Too bad they are throwing everyone under the bus due to their negligence and ignorance.
Powell doesn’t control inflation , Biden blames him for higher prices ahead of midterm elections and asks for fed pres resignation. Powell causes a recession, Biden blames Powell ahead of mid-term elections and replaces Powell with money printing dove. Feel bad for Powell in a way. End result is that money printing starts again by summer.
The FED is hurting the Real Estate market, banks are manipulating mortgage rates, you can call 2 different mortgage companies and get a 1.5 % difference in the same hour.
I am sick of El-Erian and his "Fed/lack of credibility" narrative, ad nauseum. It's like he's constantly on the prowl to be picked as the next Fed Chair like he has all the answers. Pontificating what needs to be done is easy sitting in an Ivory Tower, discussing how economies run in a vacuum.
El-Erian says this is the time to lighten up on stocks. Okay. And put your money where??? He said himself that this is the wrong time to go to cash, buy bonds or commodities. Makes no sense!
I-bonds are probably the best place to park cash for the next year or so. With it's current 7.1% interest rate, it'll at least keep your money alive while this high inflation persists. Only drawback is youre limited to $10k a year.
@Katsuya89 ok so I k ow you weren't listening to powell but he said inflation will begin to come down in the summer. Balance sheets healthy, economy strong, people going back to work, supply chains improving. You act as if everything was destroyed and there is no infrastructure. Things were just closed for a bit. Once people work and restock supplies and get overtime to produce more then we'll be back to normal. Ugh pessimism
@@rally_chronicles And you're sure that Powell is gonna be right? This is the same guy that kept saying inflation is only transitory all of last year while continuing to print loads of money for way longer than needed. I sure hope you're right about everything going back to normal soon, but I wouldn't count on it.
As long as economists think the Fed didn't anticipate inflation, they will continue to be frustrated and "puzzled" by Fed actions Prices= velocity of money times money supply divided by GDP. All things being equal, if you increase money supply by 40%, you will get a 40% increase in prices. Do you think Jerome Powell doesn't know this basic economic equation? Do you really think he was surprised by inflation? Inflation is a deliberate policy decision on the part of western governments to inflate away the unsustainable sovereign debt, and to transfer wealth from ordinary citizens to the government and its oligarch chronies.
Fed lost already when they continue to over print USD last year. There is no such thing as free money and low inflation. Now, they can pick which side to lose, recession or inflation. Or both.
In 100 years the Federal Reserve will be looked at with the same amount of disdain that people look at the robber barons from the railroads in the 1800s today.

@@stephenlight647 2:58 "I'd rather make the mistake of letting the inflation persist than throw this economy into recession"
@@KyleDunnIt Of TWO choices. I get your point, but you have to listen to El-Erian carefully when he sets up these binary choices. In any case, place your bet! As Mohammed (if he is telling us his choice accurately) is betting not on inflation, but in recession, given his equity choices.
The stock market is still overvalued, that's the piece of the puzzle he seems to be ignoring. Low corporate taxes and high stock values are inflationary.
Without price stability the economy is broken. A 20% correction is not the market breaking.
Mr Ferro and Mr El-Erian make the world of finance visible to ordinary people in a delightful manner. What I take away from this vocast is Mr El-Erian's 'loser/loser' comment about the Fed's latest actions. Chairman Powell seemed so uplifted and positive in his latest announcement and then we hear from Mohamed El-Erian that recession is a probable outcome. It's hard for us outside the world of finance and markets to understand how bad things are going to get because of decisions at the top which will not make things better but turn the world upside down. The French have an expression "jamais deux sans trois". Never two things without a third. We've had a pandemic and it's still poking its ugly head above the clouds and now a war in Ukraine and I hesitate to predict that there just may be a doozy of a recession waiting in the wings. Boys and girls, we will get through these world-shattering events, but I fear the world will be a much different place when we emerge to the other side of these Earth-shattering developments. It's an opinion.
Does anyone remember Powell’s many lies and "mistakes"?
Brilliant analysis as usual from El-Erian, my favourite economic commentator. I do agree. FED has lost it. They are demonstrating FOMC after FOMC, speech after speech that they are always behind, always reactive instead of proactive, never able to anticipate correctly. It is as if they were long on equities and that they are too afraid to handle the inflation issues because you know if stock markets go down that would bad... The idea that stock markets would always go higher is laughable. Sooner or later, stagflation or recession will hit and the FED will be like oohhh we're sorry, we did our best...
No mistakes by design
El- Erian should lean what many people do not understand. DO NOT BET AGAINST THE FED. You will not win. Never ever!
How does one lose something they never had???
Good times! Buckle up kids!
What would I want to ask the chairman? Why are you still buying 50 Billion dollars worth of mortgage backed securities every month, Mr. Chairman?
Wait until they cut within 12 months.
Powell should not be confirmed.
Mohammad knows his shit! Brilliant
There are two main reasons for the onset of global inflation: one is affected by the epidemic, the U.S. economy is in recession, the Federal Reserve printed a lot of money, putting $3 trillion into the market last year and another $1.9 trillion into the market this year, which led to the rapid depreciation of the U.S. dollar, and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar led to a huge increase in the price of global commodities denominated in dollars, which also directly pushed up the price of global raw materials.
Another is that, due to the global economic downturn, central banks have followed the example of the U.S. and implemented loose monetary policies in order to bring their economies back up, which has also directly led to the advent of inflation in various countries.
Faced with the advent of inflation in the United States, many experts suggest that people can invest in real estate and gold. However, we believe that this advice is not feasible. First of all, the property, three or four tier cities due to population outflow than inflow, investment in real estate is too risky, while the price of houses in first-tier cities is often seven or eight million or even tens of millions, the average person simply can not afford to buy, the money to pay the down payment is not enough.
In addition, real estate is now facing regulation and control, and has begun to see results, the price of housing around the beginning of differentiation, coupled with the majority of people have entered an aging society, the overall supply of property is greater than demand, the probability of the future rise in housing prices is not great, the good days of investing in property with eyes closed to make money has passed.
Then look at the investment in gold, by the impact of the depreciation of the dollar, international gold prices rose sharply, once to the end of last year's $ 2060 / ounce, and then began to fall from the high, at present, the international gold price is $ 1797 / ounce, has been at a historical high. And if investors want to invest in gold, they should wait for the international gold price to fall to below $1200/oz.
What's more, U.S. gold is a niche market, you buy gold easily, to sell gold is very difficult. The U.S. gold stores basically do not recycle gold, and the U.S. banks only recycle their own gold bullion, but also add fees and identification fees, so that investment in gold bullion is basically unprofitable.
So in the face of inflation, how do we deal with it? First, store appropriate food at home. For example, save some grain and flour
Of course, now there is no need to hoard a lot of grain and flour, enough for a month or two to eat can be, because too much grain hoarding will be damp and moldy, appropriate hoarding some can be.
Secondly, people nowadays can do some part-time jobs so that they can increase their income and counteract inflation. Of course, if you have a certain understanding of finance, history and other fields, you can try to invest into finance to earn extra income. In short, inflation is coming, salary income does not rise, only through part-time jobs to deal with inflation.
Third, keep some cash on hand, but also learn how to manage money to counteract inflation. Because there is some cash in hand, you can buy the necessities of life, and if people are sick, they can get timely medical treatment. And inflation period, often accompanied by economic downturn, the asset bubble will burst, if there is enough cash in hand, you can wait until the asset bubble fell to the lowest in history, and then low absorption, so it is likely to speculate to the bottom of history. Of course, while the inflation can also learn about financial management, so that you can also be through the financial gains to counteract inflation.
Maybe it’s time to admit that Powell, the Fed and the talking heads don’t really know what’s going on in the economy or has any clue about inflation? They have let the system get too financialized, too complicated and far far too indebted.
They either don’t have a clue or this is some strange plan of theirs to help themselves and their wealthy comrades
They know. They do not care. A quarter point is exactly what it was. Nothing but a headline.
Very simple a free market capital system was not meant to be manipulated. Just the concept of a "Central Bank" and a free market system will never work. The great depression was a manifestation of natural boom and bust cycles. We keep wanting to avoid the economic bust that actually humbles a society and reminds us to be grateful, self reliant and have a simple work ethic. I'm afraid the we have no clue now what's coming.
The great depression was not natural, it was manifested by the Fed keeping rates too low in the roaring 20s for too long. Sound familiar???
Stagflation is the wrong diagnosis.
This is not the 70s, labor share of income is at a low, not at a high as it was in the 70s. Private debt is at a high, not a low as it was in the 70s.
Wage driven inflation is definitely not the enemy, it would be a welcome sign that debt is being paid back, the economy is becoming more resilient, and demand is picking up.
Apart from energy inflation, the inflation we have makes it look like the Fed's money printing is going to propping up the markets at the expense of the real economy.
Fundamentally, what's been happening is we've been dumping ever more debt on the public since the Volcker shock to compensate for flat income growth. After we rode interest rates all the way down to near 0%, the debt market becomes effectively saturated, so that's not going to work anymore, and the Fed resorted to money printing.
Well, the problem is structural, then. Over the long run, it makes no sense for house prices, market prices to increase, while incomes and private debt load are flat.
If the money printing were going to increasing wages, and paying back debt, we'd be completing the economic circle, and setting the stage for another era of economic growth.
Instead, we're using money printing to prop up the markets at the expense of the real economy.
I don't think this ends well at all. If we are to accept that the Fed, and central banks, are to manage the economy instead of elected governments, then I think we have to acknowledge that they don't really have the tools to dig out of this mess. Because they're not sending that money to the places where it would be really effective.
I think if you want central banks to continue to manage the economy, they need to be granted a mandate to distribute money widely to the general public, in the form of UBI, or some kind of universal dividend, in circumstances where interest rates are near 0%.
If you want elected governments to fix this issue, be wary that some of these governments will have some funny ideas about how to effectively get money to the working class. Historically, this is the time for war making.
Nothing more dangerous than wages chasing prices. Also the participation rate of labor says 34% unemployment.
The u.s. is headed to an inflationary depression. Way far worst than 70's or even 1929 since it will be inflationary.
@@eljefe5858 The entire world has been mired in the Denial Depression since 2008-09. Trillions of dollars in wealth was evaporated on a worldwide scale and all Congress did was hand the keys to a new car to the drunks on Wall Street that drove the car into the ditch and totaled it.
THIS^^^^^
This man very wise I think.
This goes back to the G-span put.
Eliminate central bank the market will take care of itself
🏆
How can raising rates bring on more supply?
I think what he means is the higher rates will reduce demand because it shrinks the money supply
@@generalyan7084 yes but the problem is all the shortages in commodities....if rates shrink the demand back down...we are looking a recession level demand
@@leinad5243 yes, higher rates always lead to a recession...recessions are healthy for the economy contrary to what politicians and the Fed tell you.
Hit us with a recession for a year or two and move on...high inflation for a several years will pis. me off
Yeah but higher prices rarely become low again, whereas a recession will result in lower prices, They will never accept this.
Careful what you wish for us we may just get both!
Sheesh! we are at .25% fed funds and QE is going to end. To normalize rates a little won't throw us in to recession unless we're on our way regardless. He must be long bonds or something...
Everything's in a bubble, the 10 year Treasury at 2.5% will pop it for sure...but I do believe the air is seeping out already. Hold tight to your pancake coin.
It's gonna be print and pray for the next 5-10 years.
Mohammed el errand is a bond trader not stocks bond investors
He is an advisor to many public companies.
@Here4deepfakes cool.... and Buffet is the king. Mahmood EL-Amadimajad is an idiot.
United States is so screwed.
Erian talks both sides of mouth. On one hand he's saying Fed moved too slow. Which I agree. Then he says Fed must move slow to prevent recession.
You fight inflation with raising interest rates and less government spending which is not happening.
The 3.5% unemployment is not accurate. It hasn't been updated in ages. It does not factor in the recent Great Resignation in which nearly 50 million people have quit their jobs in the past two years. That pushes the number well above 20%. So the Fed really needs to be _dovish_ rather than tanking the economy.
No shit! Hyperinflation is about to get ugly
Maybe using debt to expand the money supply by lowering interest rates for 40 years and encouraging the public to borrow ever higher multiples of their income was a mistake. Perhaps if the money supply needs to constantly expand in order to keep prices rising at 2% and output growing then maybe the government should spend more money domestically. Debt to income has been trending up whilst the cash rate has trended down to 0% for 4 decades now. Debt to income multiples have been growing all over the world for decades. The government combined with the fed have the ability to print money, why do they need to rely on commercial bank's lending practices? What happens when we can't lower the interest rate any further, the Fed just prints money and dumps it into the bond market to increase borrowing? This is idiotic, Milton Friedman was wrong.
That would have been a sound discussion if the goal was responsible fiscal and monetary policies. Unfortunately I think they've in the Roman "let them eat cake" mode for those 40 years now. Politicians more worried about expanding their personal power than anything else.
The Fed might be thinking that market forces and what is between people's ears will correct everything.
Inflation is eviserating our economy. Do you truly believe increased inflation should be allowed to fester. Rents up 500 a month. People will not have a dime to purchase or sustain ant real growth in our economy.
Sir you are 100% Right! Most people in America know what's coming, and it won't be pretty.
Buy the dip this bubble will not end any time soon.All I see is companies expanding.And people getting raises and bonuses like crazy.
Should do? _"I'd rather make a mistake of letting inflation persist then throw this economy into a recession."_
Will do? _"IDK..."_
Yes…dunno what he’s high on.
So this is the banks disappointed in the Fed?
FED has full credibility with rich people, aka, asset holders, they got rich while poor eat crap
I'm just saying. Bernanke was a Harvard / MIT trained economist who dedicated his life studying the Great Depression and the economic stagnation of Japan. I wasn't fond of Yellen but at least she was a Harvard / LSE trained economist and an expert in the field. Compared to his predecessors, Powell is a joke with his JD from Georgetown. I'm just saying.
debt base monetary system managed by human beings
Lol helicopter Ben was a hack and a clueless chairman. There hasn't been any decent fed chairman since volcker
@@askeladd60 debt/gdp in 70s were 30%...volcker had easier choices...sort of academic, the USD is dying...all americas wealth is denominated in USDs.
USD is worlds reserve currency and the petrodollar. the irony is our push to green tech/EV our infrastructure, which is inevitable bc east is moving to all EVs....but were basically telling OPEC to fuk themselves. what do you think oil exports that peg crude price to USDs only will do wit their USD/USTY reserves? feds cant do anything
wo energy priced in USDs.....its toilet paper.
Indeed that Bison story wasn't a cool reminder.
FED has already stated that they want to overshoot 2% inflation target . Were they not right?
Jonathan is a stud
Based on Mohamed’s comments, worth drilling down into the FOMC member composition to understand their collective thinking.
El-Erian - You can't go to cash, bonds, commodities or crypto.
Also El-Erian - It's time to take some out of equities...
Real estate
@@aaronclouse7634 REITs are partially correlated with equities. It's not foolproof.
He’s no magician. And neither is anyone else. You are still stuck with a number of unpalatable choices. You’re going to have to balance any portfolio with Stocks, bonds, commodities and cash. His advice is to lighten up on equities. If you have the stomach for some volatility, then go to commodities. If not, then cash and short term bonds in a mix. He was describing what asset managers have to do, not what an individual might do. Individuals do not have annual performance reviews, they have (presumably) longer time horizons.
As usual, the long sighted El-Erian is providing ammo to a condescending FED. They will make use of his comment to create new narratives and try to have it their way. They are so lucky to have people that give them well thought through suggestions. Too bad they are throwing everyone under the bus due to their negligence and ignorance.
Where do you go: GOLD🥇
"Brace for impact"
if wants credibility then they need to raise by 100 basis points every meeting including March.
The only framework these fedsters should have are bars in front of them all.
Lol guy with a hammer sees nails everywhere, so true.
Is it part of the Fed’s mandate to please the markets?
Powell doesn’t control inflation , Biden blames him for higher prices ahead of midterm elections and asks for fed pres resignation. Powell causes a recession, Biden blames Powell ahead of mid-term elections and replaces Powell with money printing dove. Feel bad for Powell in a way. End result is that money printing starts again by summer.
@@steveshideler1333 uh, no. There’s zero reason to feel bad for powell. He’s just cleaning up his own mess at this point.
The FED is hurting the Real Estate market, banks are manipulating mortgage rates, you can call 2 different mortgage companies and get a 1.5 % difference in the same hour.
The FED is terrified....they see the inevitable coming.....
I am sick of El-Erian and his "Fed/lack of credibility" narrative, ad nauseum. It's like he's constantly on the prowl to be picked as the next Fed Chair like he has all the answers. Pontificating what needs to be done is easy sitting in an Ivory Tower, discussing how economies run in a vacuum.
El-Erian says this is the time to lighten up on stocks. Okay. And put your money where??? He said himself that this is the wrong time to go to cash, buy bonds or commodities. Makes no sense!
I-bonds are probably the best place to park cash for the next year or so. With it's current 7.1% interest rate, it'll at least keep your money alive while this high inflation persists. Only drawback is youre limited to $10k a year.
@Katsuya89 ok so I k ow you weren't listening to powell but he said inflation will begin to come down in the summer.
Balance sheets healthy, economy strong, people going back to work, supply chains improving.
You act as if everything was destroyed and there is no infrastructure. Things were just closed for a bit. Once people work and restock supplies and get overtime to produce more then we'll be back to normal. Ugh pessimism
@Worst Case Scenario I'll follow Buffetts advice.
@@rally_chronicles And you're sure that Powell is gonna be right? This is the same guy that kept saying inflation is only transitory all of last year while continuing to print loads of money for way longer than needed.
I sure hope you're right about everything going back to normal soon, but I wouldn't count on it.
@Katsuya89 I thought helicopter Ben was crazy by spending us out of a recession but by God we did it.
They had credibility!? 😲
If the option of "let inflation run away" is selected, get ready for bread lines, gas lines, rolling blackouts, etc.
Fed raised rates. But dollar lower as Canada and Australia rates are higher. Market ripped higher.
Now overlay onto what was said ; the current world wide monetary system is broken & has become a net impediment so is ready for an overhaul.
Wenn die Preise steigen, wird alles teurer!
As long as economists think the Fed didn't anticipate inflation, they will continue to be frustrated and "puzzled" by Fed actions
Prices= velocity of money times money supply divided by GDP.
All things being equal, if you increase money supply by 40%, you will get a 40% increase in prices.
Do you think Jerome Powell doesn't know this basic economic equation? Do you really think he was surprised by inflation?
Inflation is a deliberate policy decision on the part of western governments to inflate away the unsustainable sovereign debt, and to transfer wealth from ordinary citizens to the government and its oligarch chronies.
Fed lost already when they continue to over print USD last year. There is no such thing as free money and low inflation. Now, they can pick which side to lose, recession or inflation. Or both.
In 100 years the Federal Reserve will be looked at with the same amount of disdain that people look at the robber barons from the railroads in the 1800s today.
Equities rising 😅10 yr Yield at record high .. been scaring us for years of interest rate rises and hawkish Fed… we’ve been rallying for years on dovish statements and policy guidance.. now ultra hawkish in forward guidance and actual interest rate policy … but equities rally!! Clearly a stop hunt, taking out all the shorts before a big fall!! Bond Mkts moving in accordance with Fed’s hawkishness
It wasn't a mistake.
