Every day since Donald Trump was elected there is a new update of bad news regarding the economy. Donald Trump's illegal tariffs which were created for his own stock investment goals, have not only ruined the American economy, but they have ruined the world's economy. The decision's to bomb oil fields in Iran and to illegally assassinate Iranian leaders has lead to a worldwide panic and the shutdown of the Strait Of Hormuz, which is the most important passage for oil in the world. Democrats create surpluses, while Republicans create recessions.

No cuts but massive bleeding of E in PE. Therefore values are being repriced. Higher for longer means hike as is. So far that’s what’s been until something breaks. Curious as to where credit issue stands?

Will definitely go up, as inflation will now be soaring.

Doubtful in my opinion. Oil shocks are the classic example of the Fed’s look-through policy. They’re generally not going to hike rates to address temporary one-time shocks, especially when the shock leads to lasting damage in the labor market

They’re approaching the stagflation trap. They cannot move rates down without triggering inflation, which is already getting pushed by tariffs and the anti-immigration policies. They can’t move them up without triggering a selloff and a cascading downturn in employment. The solution is going to be to take the political hit on rates and stop the policies contributing to inflation, but the incoming chair is picked because he’s trying to bring in a rate cut.

The new guy may want cuts but the board has to approve that in a vote. And the guy who has usually been dissenting over rate cut decisions recently said he’s ok with the decision to hold rates due to inflation concerns. Trump won’t get what he wants out of the fed

Ya but this isn’t a typical oil shock. Even if the strait is reopened tomorrow, it’s going to take years to get back to the previous export levels because a bunch of refineries got blown up and need to be repaired. Not to mention the trailing inflation of a quarter of the world’s urea being cut off right as farmers need fertilizer to start planting their crops. Plus helium disruptions that are going to drive up the prices of computer chips

Plus the Iranians just discovered they can charge crazy fees for what used to be free.
