Episode notes
Fed Expectations and Communication
- The Federal Reserve likely won't change interest rates, but their communication will shift.
- They may hint at rate cuts due to poor growth prospects, not positive inflation news.
Impact of Pausing QT
- Pausing quantitative tightening (QT) may keep yields lower and help risk assets.
- However, its impact on market liquidity and risk assets is marginal, not substantial.
Importance of Soft Data
- Dismissing soft inflation data as purely political or irrelevant is misleading.
- Soft data often precedes hard data; current trends suggest rising inflation expectations.
