Had a great chat with Lynette Zang of ITM Trading on Friday. Here is the show as posted on her channel.
We discussed inflation, quantitative easing, monetary policy and so much more.
Tag: Monetary Policy
Fed Up With The FED?
We look at the latest from the FOMC and press conference.
The Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and expects it will be appropriate to maintain this target range until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the Committee’s assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time.
Last December, the Committee indicated that it would continue to increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and of agency mortgage‑backed securities by at least $40 billion per month until substantial further progress has been made toward its maximum employment and price stability goals.

The Everything Bubble [Podcast]
I recently took part in an online seminar, along with Economist Harry Dent and Author Robert Kiyosaki, predicated on the view that Central Banks have created an everything bubble.
You can see my separate discussions with Harry Dent: Who Breaks First The Economy Or Central Banks? https://youtu.be/HQu-Im9OTNU and Robert Kiyosaki, https://youtu.be/bzlGON2L6fU on Seeking Safe Havens.
The question is, are there safe havens – and how does this all play out?
This show is a reprise of my presentation, with updated material based on the latest information. You also might want to see my show Quantitative Easing – A Dangerous Addiction? https://youtu.be/RtWCAJtB2hk

Quantitative Easing – A Dangerous Addiction?
We discuss the House of Lords Report on the Bank of England’s Quantitative Easing Programme. They ask the critical question – just how will it be unwound? Has the Bank of England created greater inequality through the programme – and just how independent is the Bank and its relationship with HM Treasury.
https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/6725/documents/71894/default/
Great questions which should be asked of all Central Banks, including RBA here.
