The Fed raised charges by 25 bps. The was unanimous. The terminal price projection is unchanged at 5.1%

FOMC modifies steering:

“The committee anticipates that some further coverage firming could also be acceptable.”

My first tweet this morning earlier than the market opened:

“I really feel fairly sure Powell goes 25. Pronounces they’re keen to maintain elevating at that price as jobs are robust, the financial system okay and banks aren’t in a credit score disaster. Nonetheless, as knowledge dependent, they may change course accordingly. $SPY stays in a buying and selling vary. Till the subsequent fracture seems”

“After which there’s $sugar wanting prefer it’s about to proceed the rally larger. Meals costs will stay elevated. And the Fed stays caught between the harm achieved however the root of inflation removed from mounted.”

My tweeted response after the FOMC?

“5% yields create extra stress to the labor market. Does nothing for using meals costs and international inflation. Silver is outperforming gold. Seems like Stagflation”

Listed below are two indicators that point out stagflation might be taking maintain:

1. Silver is Starting to Outperform gold

The each day chart of silver exhibits the worth rising additional away from the 50-daily transferring common in blue.

The Management indicator exhibits that is starting to outperform . That in and of itself is extremely inflationary.

The Preliminary response within the indices was to purchase as buyers solely hear “pivot.”

Powell: Intermeeting knowledge on jobs and inflation got here in stronger than anticipated. We thought-about pause, however the hike was supported by robust consensus.

Do you hear pivot? I hear thought-about fairly totally different.

For this reason it’s important to look at how silver performs relative to gold and the way bonds carry out relative to the .

2. Lengthy Bonds Are Outperforming the S&P 500

The from March twelfth covers this potential intimately.

Lengthy bonds (NASDAQ:) outperforming S&P 500 is often recessionary.

So, in the event you add up rising gold, silver, , , , metal perhaps costs, together with lengthy bonds displaying yields might need topped after which add that the bonds are doing higher than the market (SPY)—that equals stagflation.

However the true situation is we’ve not seen the total influence of the Fed and CBs dropping management. And the is weak.

An ideal storm?
