How Social Media Shapes Economic Perception

One thing I’ve been trying to square lately is online discourse and real world action.I spend a lot of time on this topic (like a lot of time) and it’s because I think it’s important. A lot of people will shrug off how people feel because people are people, and it’s volatile and prone to change, but there is always something within the weeds of these whispers that can be informative to thinking about change.The economy is weird right now. We all know this. We all feel this.Political Narratives and Economic PoliciesWe are about to go into an election year, there was a debate last night, some key gubernatorial races this week (go Kentucky!!!) and of course, political sentiment is going to shape economic sentiment - and divide. I was fortunate enough to interview David Dayen of the American Prospect this week, and he said -Republicans are going to focus on inflation, even if the inflation statistics are pretty moderate at that time… They think it's a winning issue. The Democrats are going to focus on the fact that over 10 million [jobs] have been created under Biden's presidency. That the unemployment rate is at historic lows that the gap between the black and white unemployment rate is at historic lows… There is a problem with touting the economy too much when people's circumstances don't feel like that they're in the same place. I don't know if I would say demeaning, but it seems like it sort of erases people's experience to a certain degree.And people CARE about inflation. They feel like their experience has been erased.Full article: https://kyla.substack.com/p/how-socia...Blog: https://kyla.substack.com All materials in these videos are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Bond Markets are Going Crazy: What does this mean?

Jerome Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee's Stance: The Federal Open Market Committee, led by Jerome Powell, is indicating a pause in interest rate hikes, highlighting a need for caution and careful consideration of "highly elevated" geopolitical risks and other uncertainties. There's potential for a move in December or later, but conditions need to be met based on comprehensive incoming data, the evolving outlook, and risk assessment. Despite the higher long-term yields, Powell suggests less need for the Fed to hike rates. Reasons for the rise in yields include government budget deficits on an unsustainable trajectory. Bond Markets: Bond markets are currently leading to tighter financial conditions, partly due to positive views on the U.S. economy's strength, not just expectations regarding the Federal Reserve. Powell emphasizes the importance of understanding the reasons behind bond yield fluctuations; this understanding affects the central bank's actions. Rising borrowing costs may be influenced by U.S. growth expectations and concerns over significant federal deficits. Debt and Deficit Concerns: Current federal deficits, particularly during a period of full employment, are unprecedented. While the unsustainable nature is agreed upon, there's debate over when it becomes problematic. The term premium, which represents the extra yield investors require for investing in longer-term assets, might be increasing. Foreign economic growth, especially China's, is slowing down, impacting the bond market. Aging populations in developed countries suggest more debt issuance in the future. Historical Perspective: This could be a new normal JPM Podcast: https://atanyrate.podbean.com/e/us-fi... WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-b... Notes: https://kylascan.notion.site/What-is-...
