Did The Fed Just Signal When Rate Hikes Will End?

I doubt they stop printing because the bubble they created is to big.

Its gonna get real interesting considering the inflation

is coming from external sources since the USA doesn't manufacture anything anymore.

Raising the interest rates simply means inflation will get much much worse and spending will collapse.

The two major sources of inflation are internal...the enormous budget deficits since the pandemic and also Biden's anti-energy policies.

"This is all you need to know.

Inflation (official) 8%+. unofficial, more like 15%

Fed funds rate = 1%

Fed balance sheet $9T and holding.

The Fed is NOT going to fight inflation in any meaningful way. They are going to do the bare minimum, and hope it goes away on its own."

Oh hell yes! 2% interest would net me some decent loot each month free from the bank. At two percent, that would be like an additional 800 bucks a month from my existing two high yield accounts, not even counting the third one that I just got started. I would just be spending freely. The only problem is that by the time the banks go to the higher rate, my lease will be up and I'll be paying the higher rental rates. I'll have to divert some loot to helping pay for the higher rent. It's like you think you're winning, and then it turns out you're really not..

Re: 50 basis point increase likey at next couple meetings, according to Fed... Ouch!!!
Fed is pretending to fight inflation.

Raising rates makes it worse not better. Higher rates increases business cost which are passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

Raising rates is supposed to reduce borrowing to cool the economy problem is the biggest borrower is government so all raising rate does is increase the amount of interest that has to be paid on government debt and costs for business and consumers.

If they were serious they would raise 2 or 3 percent now and keep raising it but they can't so they won't.

They will be forced to concede, restart QE, drop rates and print no end.

It's doubtful rates will rise above 2 or 3 percent before the Fed is forced to capitulate and throw in the towel.

Inflate or die.

Are you brain dead. The fed has a 9 trillion dollar hole. Interest rates suppressed and easy money for over 14 fucking years. Twenty one years of unfunded wars, defense outlays increasing every year, massive bailouts and tax cuts. You are one stupid mofo. External? FU, shill

Government increases taxes to get more money to buy more goods

Then

Business increase prices to make up for the short fall

Then Governments realise their still short because prices increased

and then increase taxes.... blah blah blah

Its a circle JERK! The only people getting it in the ass is the employees who pay the taxes and each time they get

Less and less and less

By now Governments need to understand, their prehistoric disaster what is no longer needed. Their stupid systems don't work, the shit they do always end up worse. What keep requiring new laws and more taxes.

But since you in government you get to ride the gravy train what leads to a failure.

WHY DO WE NEED GOVERMENTS AGAIN? NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!
