  • Higher inflation is on the way. The Fed needs to make this clearer before it raises rates

    From morningstar.com

    Investors anticipate the path of rate policy to remain essentially flat over the next year, despite rising risks to the inflation outlook. The Federal Open Market Committee needs to update its communication with a world that is about to see higher inflation. Annual price increases have been above the Fed's 2% target for five years, and the Iran war oil shock is adding to structural changes and supply constraints across the U.S. economy. Labor supply is less abundant, due to global demographics trends and America's immigration crackdown. Global trade integration had produced disinflationary forces for the past two ... (full story)

Unfortunately FED will be remembered for three things only.
A) mis-reading underlying inflation as transitory.
B) Could never achieve his dual mandate. Inflation is above 2% since 5 years and worsening labor market.
C) FED who never got along with Mr. Trump and sync his policies.

its pity that people at highest authority are immune to realities of common people.

I think NPCs on this site should concern themselves more with trading and less with things they don't understand. Only few people here (if even few) were calling for central banks to continue hiking rates (which was correct) while others (NPCs) were calling for rate cuts (even weaker currency). The thing is, people think they're smarter than someone who has been studying markets, data, history for decades. I'm not talking about the Fed officials here, they're either paid to continue inflating or are just plain incompetent. I'm talking about real people who follow this bullshit for almost their entire life. Obviously, they were right on so many things it's unbelievable.

Problem is that everyone thinks they're not stupid, but it requires a decent amount of intelligence to find good information, knowledgeable people on the internet.

I'll give you a hint. Out of all of those that I follow, none believes that the Fed is working in your best interest and neither of them is defending this institution. Who defends the Fed? Shit-swallowers who don't know shit about anything and do not comprehend that the Fed is robbing them blind along with the government. And yet, they are ready to defend this horrible institution like a good NPCs that they are.

What I wanted to say is, stop commenting on the articles folks, because first, it's likely you don't know shit about the topic being mentioned and second, none of the news that you follow matter if you have a plan, good analysis and consistency in trading. Only NPC will tell you that news are important in trading.

They won't. They have to keep inflating the bubble for their rich criminal friends.

Stocks at all time high, fueled by expansionary monetary policy from the Fed, government war spending and stock buybacks.

As said, markets are dead wrong if they think Kevin Warsh will call for rate hikes.

    BOJ Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices (April 2026)

    From boj.or.jp|Apr 27, 2026

    Japan's economic growth is likely to decelerate in fiscal 2026, since the rise in crude oil prices reflecting the impact of the situation in the Middle East is expected to push down corporate profits and households' real income through factors such as a deterioration in the terms of trade. However, the economy is expected to continue growing moderately, albeit at a decelerated rate, since it is likely to be underpinned by factors such as the government's various measures and accommodative financial conditions, in addition to developments such as continued high levels of profits in the corporate sector. Japan's economic growth rate is likely to rise moderately from fiscal 2027 onward, since it is projected that the adverse effects of high crude oil prices will wane and that a virtuous cycle from income to spending will gradually intensify.
