Reply to comment by d_HOME in Feds meeting schedule 2023 by whicky1978

JPow mentioned this month that the target rate is 5.1%. Since the current fed rate is 4.25-4.50%, we are looking at maybe another two hikes of 0.25% each, likely in Feb and Mar.

I have a feeling that omnibus spending bill is going to create more inflation.

People whos money is sent offshore to a tax paradise, whoem written off as a mysterious loss here. Money sent to be hoarded in a digital world by the ruling elite...they won capitalism.

Now of you happen to give some money to a normal citizen, one who actually works and produces something, it'll lead to inflation and thus is bad. Food, housing, everything has risen sky high...but me preserving 1/10th of my purchasing power is bad and "dangerous". Mr billionaire getting another few billions is good. 🤡

Money circulates. For example, SBF donated to the DNC, many politicians opted to send billions to Ukraine, Ukraine and its citizens made heavy use of crypto, and guess how much of that FTX was involved with? Saying that money is going to another country so therefore not a problem is extremely shortsighted behavior. That completely dismisses money velocity which allows the dollar to be devalued through its circulation which can easily make its way back to the US. Remember MV=PQ

Okay thats just a bunch of nonsense… In no way if even a tiny amount of money really took this path it still had 0 influence on inflation

That also correlates with the highest inflation for the past year over year. When governments blow out the spending you get inflation. Just look at Venezuela’s inflation.

don’t hit me with these talking points man. Of course to much spending can lead to inflation, obviously. 2021 was because Corona and the reaction (for better or for worse) needed a lot more social spending. my point is that this omnibus is extremely ordinary and will have 0 influence of the baseline inflation expectations.

So far, the Fed has been 100 percent incorrect in their predictions about their own hiks and future rates. But, you think this time is different?

Hence using words like “maybe” and “likely”. Ain’t nobody can tell us the future 100%.
