@DGI
tl/dr: Dont question the role of #theFed they are totally fine and well-meaning and having only done good since they were voted into pwer by congress on christmas eve eve 1913.#merryChristmas....or as #banksters and epstained-tier no doubt love to say.... "Xmas".
dont look at inflation resistant, fungible, transferable, divisable, scarse money that fulfils all the proper and important criteria of money....boring old #bitcoin.
Again DO NOT do that, do NOT throw the money lenders out of the temple, stay in YOUR PLACE, and remember to always blame the one place where lending of money for profit is considered a sin....

"We've taken a step back & we're watching to see what the policies turn out to be & the ways in which they will affect the #economy. Then we'll be able to act. Fortunately, our policy stance is in a good place for us to do that." thanks to #Biden / #Bidenomics]
#TheFed, he added is in the same place as everyone else, awaiting clarity on policies.

#JeromePowell signaled that #TheFed would not be making any hasty decisions on #InterestRates.
"It's a good time to take a step back & let things clarify. That's why it's just too soon to say what the appropriate monetary policy response will be to these new policies. It is just too soon to say. We can't say with any confidence today." [cuz shit is crazy]

#JeromePowell says #TheFed does not forecast #recession probability.
"We don't actually, we don't make a probability forecast of how likely it is for there to be a recession, but many outside forecasters do, & many of them have raised the likelihood, …there's not much more I can say about that."
Powell stressed that he did not want to be part of a political discussion about #policy.
The Fed is not responsible for #trade, #immigration, fiscal or other policies.

US #CentralBank holds #InterestRates steady
#TheFed said it will slow the pace of the drawdown of its balance sheet, as it faces challenges in assessing #market liquidity….
Stmnt: "The Cmte will continue reducing its holdings of #Treasury #securities & agency #debt & #mortgage‑backed securities. Beginning in April, the Cmte will slow the pace of decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $25B to $5B."

…This week’s pause is fueled at least partly by uncertainty over the way #Trump could enact new policies, such as a return to an #aggressive & #unpredictable global #trade overhaul w/ #threats to impose significant #tariffs on US trading partners. Though it’s unclear exactly how those policies will affect the #economy, some #Fed ofcls have already begun to factor these policies into their economic projections.

The #FederalReserve left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, amid a cloudy economic outlook, partly because some of #Trump’s policies could stymie the fight against #inflation.
Wednesday’s pause comes after the central bank cut interest rates by a full percentage point between Sept & Dec last year. Officials anticipate the pace of future cuts slowing to just 2 this year, down from 4 cuts that they projected before the election.#economy #TheFed

Economist Claudia Sahm with excellent insights into inflation and job creation. What really appeal to me are her ideas to expand reserves beyond just money, or oil, to include buffer stock reserves for key industries (necessities which might be difficult to obtain in the case of war, climate disasters, transportation?) My favorite story from Genesis is when Jacob’s son Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dream to plan for famine.

Five year ago today in 2019 the '(not) federal' Reserve was printing about 10 billion per day becasue the banks we're not trusting each other in the overnight lending market.
this was called the #repocrisis (short for 'repossession')
#thefed never stopped printing the money, the repo crisis sort of just morphed into #coronavirus crisis in 2020.

#StockMarket #TheFed #InterestRates
Looks like another dip & buying opportunity may be coming up in the stock market.
An anticipated 1/4% rate cut by The Fed is already baked into the market but buyers are hoping for more (which IMO is unlikely) & if The Fed comes out with "just" a 1/4% cut, the market is likely to decline slightly further on the #news but will rise dramatically in the short term if The Fed decides on going with a more likely #inflationary cut of 1/2%.
We'll see shortly . . .

I warned you about this.
Jerome Powell has already made it clear that, in this downturn / collapse, the "too big to fail" institutions will be just fine; the banks that will fail will be small to medium regional banks. What do you think is the case for businesses in general?

Tomorrow night, I'll release a nighttime podcast episode about 70s stagflation. I surveyed older adults to learn what they remembered about 70s-era stagflation. 80% of the survey respondents - unbidden - shared that they feel the current economy is WORSE than the entirety of the 1970s.
