Lawrence Lepard: Next Fed Pivot Will Be The Last
Coin Stories
Is the Bond Market Going to Break?
Natalie Portman: The current sell-off and bear market has arguably been pretty orderly given the amount of debt in the system. Do you see a scenario where Jay Powell wants to get interest rates above core inflation? She says we're already seeing the blowups and things are starting to become kind of fugoid in their motion. Portman: This is just like the water getting drawn out before the tsunami comes in.
