Swap Me Still

In its earliest years, the Discount Window wasn’t something to be avoided at all costs, it was nearly the whole point. In order to supply largely seasonal liquidity, the word “discount” meant banks could show up at one of the local 12 Fed branches and post collateral for an increase in their reserve balance. No one would be stuck holding [...]

There Was Never Going To Be A ‘V’ Because The Bowl Was Always Empty

What was stupidest about the past few months was how it was these guys who everyone was depending upon to make it all go just perfectly moving forward. Worse, those geniuses being held up as competent economic stewards practically reran the 2008 playbook line by line. What that said, more than anything, was that they had come up with zero [...]

Why The FOMC Just Embraced The Stock Bubble (and anything else remotely sounding inflationary)

By |2020-06-10T19:10:13-04:00June 10th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets, Stocks|

The job, as Jay Powell currently sees it, means building up the S&P 500 as sky high as it can go. The FOMC used to pay lip service to valuations, but now everything is different. He’ll signal to all those fund managers by QE raising bank reserves, leading them on in what they all want to believe is “money printing” [...]

This Thing Is Only Getting Started; Or, *All* The V’s Are Light On The Right

By |2020-06-10T17:05:52-04:00June 10th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The Federal Reserve’s models really are the most optimistic of the bunch. With the policy meeting conducted today, no surprises as far as policies go, we now know what ferbus has to say about everything that’s happened this year. Skipping the usual March projections, what with the FOMC totally occupied at the time by a complete global monetary meltdown Jay [...]

Entering The Window of Gigantic Positives

According to Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), the production of light automobiles rebounded in May 2020. Up more than 494% from April, the country managed to piece together 22 thousand units last month. And that was still 93.7% fewer than had been assembled during May 2019.Auto production had been down almost 99%, so the rebound to -93.7% [...]

Attention All “V” People

Around the same time Lehman Brothers and AIG became headline news in the middle of September 2008, none of the mainstream econometric models thought it was possible for the US economy to suffer so severe a shock that it would induce monetary policymakers to unleash ZIRP. Worse, the models all predicted that it would be impossible for anything to force [...]

Someone’s Giving Us The (Trade) Business

By |2020-06-08T19:07:53-04:00June 8th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The NBER has made its formal declaration. Surprising no one, as usual this group of mainstream academic Economists wishes to tell us what we already know. At least this time their determination of recession is noticeably closer to the beginning of the actual event. The Great “Recession”, you might recall, wasn’t even classified as an “official” contraction until December 2008 [...]

A Second Against Consumer Credit And Interest ‘Stimulus’

By |2020-06-08T16:04:37-04:00June 8th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Credit card use entails a degree of risk appreciated at the most basic level. Americans had certainly become more comfortable with debt in all its forms over the many decades since the Great Depression, but the regular employment of revolving credit was perhaps the apex of this transformation. Does any commercial package on TV today not include one or more [...]
