About this episode
(2/7/23) Markets are flat in anticipation of today's speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who is expected to provide some clarification of his stance on financial conditions. Markets had interpretted his remarks as a green light to run prices higher. Monetary conditions matter because improving conditions allow investors, businesses, and consumers to operate more easily in the economy. The resulting economic growth would therefore lead to a resurgence in inflation. This is coming on the heels of a report showing the lowest unamployment in recent memory, also giving concern to the Fed about rising inflation. We're getting lots of mail asking whether the time is right to buy 10-year Treasuries. Bonds have had a decent run recently, and both Stock and Bond markets are closely correlated. Bonds are still on a sell-signal, but we anticipate an opportunity soon for buying bonds.
