No Pivot for You

What if I told you hedge funds paid AI companies to analyze JPow’s micro expressions yesterday?

Even with the help of robots, investors struggled to get a read on his thoughts about further rate hikes after a 4th-straight 75-pointer, but the theme is that a pivot ain’t happening.

He initially said that the Fed would keep in mind that prior hikes still need to work their way thru the system
Then he laid down the hammer, saying, “the ultimate level of interest rates will be higher than previously expected.”
It’s clear the Fed is ready to crank rates too high rather than not high enough, since the latter could mean persistent inflation
The odds of a FIFTH STRAIGHT 75 pointer in December doubled after his comments

Next Crisis, Let’s Up the Stimmies

Now that we’re somewhat removed from the latest global economic clusterf*ck, we can compare the C-19 response to that after the GFC.

Of the $5 trillion or so in emergency 2020 spending, only 1.8 went directly to households, with the rest getting swallowed by businesses and governments
Uncle Sam wasn’t as generous after the GFC, and the stimulus took a lot longer to arrive
Australia went hard early after the GFC and sent checks to every taxpayer, and avoided a recession as a result
Sending the bulk of stimmies to businesses can create zombie companies while sending checks directly to people ensures that actual households are kept afloat

The big question: Whenever the next crisis inevitably comes, will the U.S. point the money printer at households rather than companies?
