Yep fed doing absolutely nothing with the economy showing signs of overheating....the fed only needs to keep wallstreet happy and thats what their only plan is...stay as dovish and giving as they can be so wallstreet can be happy happy happy. The Fed will stay put in 2021 despite growing concerns about overheating economy, CNBC survey says https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/27/the...ut-overheating-economy-cnbc-survey-shows.html
Hard to expect any different outcome when one hand washes the other. Wall Street is a revolving door for all Fed employees who want to step up their game. Total conflict of interest and moral hazard. Like ex cops joining the Mexican drug cartels to "consult".
That's a hard one because without catalyst even with higher inflation asset prices will adjust most likely slowly making even shorting bond futures rather expensive in the long term. Moving into cash after a market top is confirmed makes probably the most sense. Or buying usdcad as shorting other carry currencies vs usd will also he expensive. Also holding property assets makes sense from an inflation perspective but properties are already quite overheated. It's much easier to go along with slowly rising equity markets than making big bucks on cooling markets unless we talk market crash
Why can't all these countries with skyrocketing inflation just follow what the US fed does????? Why can't they just take the exact fed policies we have in the US and apply them to their markets? I mean it's a win win win win. The US prints trillions and trillions more than any other country and we have only 1 to 2% inflation rates. It's so magically great how the fed can keep everything so perfect. Venezuela inflation... Along with January's figures, the BCV also published figures for the final three months of 2020, which saw inflation reverse its near-two-year downtrend and spike from 1,937% in October to December's 2,960% reading, which was the highest rate since January 2020.
That's a pretty stupid question actually. Because Argentina and Turkey and others have a credibility issue. The US never defaulted on its debt. Others have. That was simple wasn't it?
Assuming (1) it's OK to lie about the inflation rate, and (2) the sheeple swallow it up like hungry carp. The "Fed model of money printing" (and government deficit spending) are not followed by other countries... because our Fed and government are not greedy enough for them, percentage-wise... at least not yet.
