Navigating Economic Distress and Central Bank Missteps

Jay Powell's Jackson Hole appearance and speech wasn't really about rate cuts. It was a sales job trying to sell you and as much of the world as possible on the Fed itself. Just making the pitch, however, means implicitly admitting the US economy just leapt out of the frying pan and into the fire. Powell says it's OK because he knows how to turn the heat down when there is zero reason to believe anyone at the FOMC knows where it is us or what the temperature is going to be.
