Wealthion, Released on 10/22/21
Perhaps no single institution has more impact on the global economy than the US Federal Reserve. And the $trillions in stimulus it and the other major world central banks have released since the COVID pandemic hit have made the system even more dependent upon its actions. Which is why our financial markets are understandably obsessed with a single question: What is the Fed likely to do next? To help us answer that, I'm thrilled that Danielle DiMartino Booth is returning to the program. Danielle is CEO & Chief Strategist for Quill Intelligence LLC, and was a former advisor to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas - so she knows that institution, as well as the people running it, well.
Part 1 (part 2 below)
Here in Part 2, Fed-watcher Danielle DiMartino Booth explains why the Fed is guaranteed to make a policy mistake no matter what decision it makes here. Taper or tightening interest rates will lead to an economic slowdown or recession that will pop the current bubble in financial assets. A continuation or resumption of monetary stimulus will worsen the growing inflation problem. Markets will be the collateral damage to the Fed's decision. Which is why Danielle recommend investors get defensive and, at the very least, start hedging any long positions they hold.
