    America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    In many ways, central banks did win the battle by avoiding the stagflation disaster of the 1970s, but in doing so, they might have lost the bigger war of maintaining long-term price stability amidst structural supply shocks. One of the big challenges is that central banks are increasingly facing political pressure to keep interest rates low, even when inflation is high. The independence of central banks is crucial, but if politicians don´t understand their role, it becomes harder for them to take necessary but unpopular actions.

      Even so, the role of central banks, even in literature, is not without controversy. If we perceive economics to be nothing more than a massive psychological play, central banks will always have to deal with an anticipating market, all the while increasing the odds of making a bad call.
      I am not naive: I know people want CB's to ensure price stability, yet are they truly up to the task?

      I disagree. I think independence of central banks is long past its sell by date. Central banks and their decisions have more impact on peoples lives than elected politicians and their decisions impact everyone (e.g. my mortgage doubling in cost has much more of an impact on my life than politicians arguing over taxes or immigration). Yet they are totally unaccountable to the people who have to live with their decisions. I also think their obsession with inflation is completely counter to what most people want (e.g. your mortgage or rent going up is going to hurt you far more than the price of your food going up in price). Time to take back control of monetary policy and bring it back under our elected leaders.

      The thing (inflation) you are referring to is just one part of the entire puzzle that dictates FED policy. Of corse the actions by the FED during/after covid, mainly QE made inflation rise quickly. This is true.
      However I personally think this was inevitable or at least the best option to keep as much businesses afloat as possible. The following geopolitical events have put unforeseen extra stress on the economy, that I think he has handled very well and cautiously, so far. Of corse there is still risk of lowering rates to quickly, or starting QE to early again, but so far this is an incredible puzzle that almost none of his predecessors managed to solve. And he is doing a great job not throwing us in a recessionary OR deflationary enviroment, yet.

      America should do what India did. Keep an inflation "target". Of around 4%. With a wiggle room of around 2 % on either side. Meaning, keeping inflation anywhere between 2 to 6% at all times. This will make companies more profitable, businesses will stay open, jobs will be available, and even though consumers will have to pay more for products, it will stimulate the economy in a way. Its a 3-4 year process, and takes time. The biggest problem in the US is debt. And this is a way for people to stop overspending on their credit cards.

But if future trouble is in SUPPLY side, which is the factory side making cars, and construction of new homes, that is the supply side which can only be changed by Government laws, making house building easier, faster, less regulations, so you need Government policy to fix the supply side.

    I do not know why the fed did not anticipate inflation. In 2020 by June, supply had toned down as they adjusted to a lock down level of activity, then they started giving away stimulus checks and by Ber months you saw the inflation caused by excess liquidity flow through speculative assets such as bitcoin and NFTs. All of that was in 2020. We did not need to wait till 2022 to put measures to contain inflation but I cannot blamw the fed because their monetary policy decisions are always based on historical data just because that is the safest decision you can make and show to the public that there is reasonable basis thus they are in a reactive position and when they make decisions its impact has a lag time of 1-2 years and not necessarily immediate. It's immediate in publiccly traded asset prices but not to the real economy. I hope the fed would take a more future oriented approach in monetary decisions. They should rely on templates that we have learned in the past 300 years and recognize the stage of economic cycle we are so that they will b proactive

      During covid, the governments around the world shut everything down, so nobody was working, so GDP went down. That would be bad enough on it's own, but then they printed loads of money in the form of government lending and private loans.
      When a nak gives out a mortgage or a loan, that isn't money from somebody's savings account that they are lending out, they make it out of thin air. This is what we mean by printing money, and it happens for personal borrowing, corporate borrowing, and government borrowing. But government borrows far more than anyone else.
      Imagine that the whole economy/GDP is a bakery that normally makes 100 loafs of bread, and there is a total of $100 in circulation. Each loaf will cost $1.
      Now imagine the GDP goes down - the bakery only makes 50 loafs, but there is still $100 in circulation. People still want to buy the bread, but there is less to go around, so people will pay more to make sure they get a loaf. Each loaf now cost $2.
      Imagine the government see's that people are having a hard time affording the bread because it now cost twice as much as it did, so they print another $100 and hand it out. Surely now everyone can afford the bread because they have more money?
      Wrong, the same amount of bread exists, and people now have more money, but that money is worth less. The bread now costs $4
      During lockdown only big businesses were able to stay open, and small ones went bankrupt. Now all the extra money that was printed goes to the big business owners, who buy income gereating assets such as property, making it even more unaffordable for everyone else. This was entirely predictable.

      And yet US credit card debt stands at $1.14 trillion. Some is due to people being in tragically difficult situations. Some is pure irresponsibility.

    CBs job is like a fortune-teller.
    They know the past.
    They barely know what happened 3 months ago (where they keep revising the figure in the months ahead).
    They don't know what is happening know, often assume or guess.
    They try to predict the next 6 months.
    They have a slim idea of where the economy may be in 12 months.
    They have one big control knob to react, which is monetary policy, which in a sense regulates demand.
    The other big control knob is on government, with fiscal policy.
    Just like with Tango, it takes two to dance and this is the problem.
    With advanced economies with record high tax revenues, high public debts and low productivity (Europe) and middle class income families struggling to pay their bills, adding more taxes and or protectionism on the supply side will potentially, most likely increase inflation. This also leads to more populist candidates as we are seeing everywhere.
    Where is the next China? Vietnam? Bangladesh? India? Indonesia?
    Yo-Yo inflation is here to stay.
    The question is, what will happen with the job market?
    Just keep stagflation at bay, otherwise we will have a Lost Decade in Europe.

    Why say dis-inflation when deflation is a word that exists?

    • @mattankerich814
      @mattankerich814 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Deflation is seen as bad... prices demand and wages drop below the target. Dis-inflation is meant as a way of saying "slowing inflation and stabilizing it at a manageable target of 2%/year". We want growth but not as hot as we were running.

    • @rezwhap
      @rezwhap 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Deflation is negative inflation (prices falling). Disinflation is lower positive inflation (prices rising more slowly).

    • @randomguy4989
      @randomguy4989 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Because, and stick with me here: they are different things. Deflation means a lowering of price level (or "negative" inflation percentage wise across the board). Reduction of inflation means a reduction in the increase of prices. So if inflation goes from 5 to 2% it is disinflation, only if it goes to -5%, meaning things start getting cheaper across the market (bad thing for the economy and a lot rarer) that the word deflation is right. There is no current deflation and pray for there to not be one because you will notice the difference of what they mean then.

      Deflation is bad for those who have lots of borrowing, like the government and big business. Deflation is not a problem as long as it is a only small amount, just as with inflation. Economist will tell you that unless we have inflation, nobody will spend any money and the economy/GDP will collapse into recession, which is of course nonsense.

      Chinese workers always worked for Chinese companies. American companies don't own and operate factories in China, and never did. They just order from local factories and sell the stuff in the US or elsewhere. Not even Apple owns any factories in China.

      In the United States, some combination of Congress and the executive branch. They're basically alluding to (currently not fully realized) automatic fiscal response tools like sending out checks in a downturn, as happened during Covid, or similar options to restrict demand when inflation is high

    Inflation is better than deflation. What would have happened if the governments had not stimulated the economy during COVID lockdowns, job losses, and supply chain disruptions?

    • @scottandrews947
      @scottandrews947 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Inflation is not better than deflation. This is a myth that is perpetuated by corrupt politicians and incompetent economists. Inflation only benefits asset owners. Young people would benefit significantly from deflation.

    • @JPEight
      @JPEight 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was a self made problem. Lockdowns did very little to stop covid, but did huge harm to the economy, and then they made it even worse by printing loads of money. Worse for us that it - the rich and powerful benefited immensely.

  • @je_suis_onur
    @je_suis_onur 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Isn't it unfair to say the CBs won the battle but lost the war against inflation when already in the video the narrators tell it's beyond CBs power? It is like saying Michael Jordan won an NBA championship but lost an NFL one. How could he win that? A more fair thing to say is that, there are other factors at play that effect inflation. Rates alone may not be the best tool to control that.
    The crucial thing is that we're talking about FED rates. So it still has an enormous power. So down playing it is very premature too.
    Oh how easy to spew BS like this. I should've been chief economist in Bloomberg or something. Nobody really asks for proper proof or data to back your claims anyway.
