  • Rates Spark: Inflation blinkers on

    From think.ing.com

    The Fed minutes from the 30 July meeting don't in general sound like the type of minutes that are setting us up for a rate cut. There is acknowledgement of a slowing tendency in the economy, but also identification of resilience. And there is a clear message that tariffs will result in higher inflation. The minutes also point to strong equity markets, steady to tighter credit spreads and decent availability of credit. Granted these minutes come after the infamous July employment report; the FOMC was looking at more robust employment numbers than we have now, as revised.

Jay Powell must not make another error regarding ‘transitory inflation.’ To safeguard his future reputation, he should take a strong stance on inflation during the September Fed meeting and not yield to Trump’s threats or disrespectful comments. If Trump chooses to act in such an unacceptable way, that is his choice. Mr. Powell is a different type of individual; he possesses integrity, civility, technical skill (unlike Trump, who has no understanding of monetary economics), and a sense of professional duty.

Wouldn't it just be a breath of fresh air for the USA to have an adult as President such as Mr Powell.

That's surely not too much to ask is it?

Having been in a relative high office, he conducts himself well under pressure amongst possessing many other leadership attributes.

Powell literally bankrupted the country by intentionally causing a 50% rise in costs because he refused to raise interest rates when everyone saw they needed to be raised to stop runaway inflation. He increased the fed’s balance sheet to an insane degree and is losing billions on those purchases. He caused the national debt to explode by printing endless money to buy government bonds that should have never been issued. He is one of a handful of people who destroyed the US. He should be in prison for what he did. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar or uneducated.

You speak as if you know them personally, people assume and believe speeches that they have no idea about.
