About this episode
(9/18/23) Last week's market pressure came from economic numbers; this week, it's the Fed meeting, and the 'will they, won't they' question about raising rates. Most likely, the Fed will hold steady with not rate hike this month. There is an economic trifecta bearing down on markets: The resumption of student loan payments, the UAW strike, and the renewed threat of a government shutdown. September seems to be a month of significance: Historically, the Lehman failure, 9/11... Markets closed down +1% on Friday thanks to extreme options expirations. Man Cave Weekend & Girl Math; Why the UAW Strike isn't the end of the world, but will impact economic activity. Resumption of student loan repayments and government shutdown have more risk to economy. Pizza Sales indicator; the pay disparity myth: it's a job-choice issue. The Myth of Bond Vigilantes; how looking for a recession has morphed into looking for a soft landing; when all the experts agree, something else happens. The Fed is expected to hold firm on rates. There's been only one soft-landing since the end of WW2. The data is flawed: We don't know what we don't know.
