  • Top economist David Rosenberg predicts US inflation will plummet below 3% next year - and warns the Fed's rate hikes are courting disaster

    From markets.businessinsider.com

    The Federal Reserve seems intent on choking the US economy into submission, despite mounting evidence that the inflation threat is fading, David Rosenberg said in a pair of appearances this week. The Rosenberg Research founder noted the Fed is rapidly hiking interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet, even though stocks are in a bear market and the macroeconomic outlook is deeply unclear. At the same time, the yield curve is inverted — a reliable sign of an upcoming recession. "We have an economic storm brewing," he told BNN Bloomberg on Tuesday. "2023 is going to be a very, very rough year." ... (full story)

Its fashion to bash the Fed. Firstly when Inflation went up and Fed said it was transitory, they said Fed was behind the curve and now they are blaming the Fed for creating the recession.

Fed guys are also humans!

They're humans who have their own agenda.....and most of that agenda is not for the rest of us.
Simply put: these guys know exactly what they're doing for their owners while fooling the rest of us.

Short the market, and buy after the dump. These guys have been at it for decades...follow the money.

FED was wrong. It is OK to be wrong. I tell this to my kids every single day. But its not OK not to be able to admit and realize you are wrong. FED was wrong with the transitory narrative. But they didnt admit it and they didnt respond properly to it.

Your post is bang on. Its far better to admit your mistake than to deny it and continue like nothing happened. Yeah for sure they were wrong as was ECB, which to date still dont admit clearly on Inflation. Fed kinda admitted they were wrong when the stopped using the word transitory.

Clear admission will come in when Powell writes a book a few years after he is no longer the Fed chair. haha

They did admit they were wrong on inflation being transitory and didn't start tightening soon enough (even if they won't admit it's a money supply problem), and they continue to respond appropriately by raising rates aggressively.
Belly slapping roll on the ground hilarious

I dont buy into that. In my book they did not accept they were wrong. FED was the last wo(men) on earth to acknowledge that the transitory narrative was wrong. And the damage caused. Oh well (: We will see ppl lose jobs, homes and wealth at an enormous scale. Through the 0 interest policy for years FED and the likes have lured average Joe into speculation in search for just a little interest on their hard earned money. And average Joe thought it was a safe thing. Cause what can go wrong? well, now the 100 average Joe invested is worth 60, he is losing his job and maybe even his home. That was another failure by FED.

Feb is not policy maker. They are punching bags to defend policy makers who are only interested in votes.

I'm pretty sure Powell has publicly admitted they were wrong about the transitory part, but maybe not. Regardless, I agree with you on the rest, they kept zero rate/QE policy for WAY too long, part of the blame also goes to the profligate congress deficit spending (financed largely by the FED) which literally created trillions of new money out of thin air. Just look at a chart of M2 broad money supply in the last 3 years, it's disturbing.

No, actually JP didnt admit he was wrong. What he says is that you, me and everybody else than FED has a different understanding of the term "transitory" and that is why he should probably stop using it. But anyway, lets not go down that route ((:
Impressive comeback from DJI today. Just closing the opening GAP now. Lets see if there is anything left in the tank.
Unemployment claims went up above last month and expectations. Maybe a first indication that things are turning in the right direction? Still good numbers I guess.

Higher Unempl claims is bad for economy. It means more Unempl people filed for claims. Means more people lost their jobs. This was highest claims in last 6 weeks, but still within range of 260-200. A move above 260 would be real bad for US economy.
How many economists does it take to change a light bulb? Seven, plus/minus ten.

Central banks are always behind the curve, the current incumbents are no different to their predecessors.

And since the IMF have been at it - it's a rare thing that they ever have anything even remotely useful to add....

This guy is full of it! In my 4+ decades of adult life I've never seen shelf prices drop.in response to reported decreasing inflation. Oh maybe 2-3 cents fluctuations here and there but to effect. This last round a can of spinach went from 89 cents to 2 dollars and there it will.stay until the next fuel increase.
