Episode notes
CPI Report and Market Reaction
- The recent CPI report shocked the market, showing a rise to 3% year over year and a concerning month-over-month increase from 0.3 to 0.5.
- While some blame the Fed's rate cuts, the 10-year treasury yield, a key inflation indicator, has actually risen during this period.
Comparison to the Last Rate Cutting Cycle
- The current economic situation mirrors the 2007-2008 period, with the Fed cutting rates from 5.25% amidst rising CPI.
- This parallel suggests that the 2008 scenario, despite money printing, cannot be ruled out.
Money Printing and M2 Money Supply
- Despite concerns about excessive money printing, the M2 money supply increase (38%) since 2020 is comparable to the 30% increase before the 2008 financial crisis.
- This similarity further strengthens the comparison between the current economic climate and the pre-2008 period.
