Episode notes
Dollar Strength and Global Currencies
- The US dollar is strengthening due to rising interest rates, while other currencies like the yen and euro are struggling.
- This creates an interesting macroeconomic setup, especially considering Japan's yield curve control.
The Fed's Inflation Problem
- The Federal Reserve is significantly behind the curve in addressing inflation, which is at a 40-year high.
- Their previous 2% inflation target was treated as a ceiling, not a symmetrical target, contributing to the current situation.
Aggressive Rate Hike Recommendation
- Bill Miller IV suggests the Fed should hike rates more aggressively than the market expects to combat accelerating inflation expectations.
- He proposes a hike of 62.5 basis points instead of the expected 50 to signal they are ahead of the curve.
