Next week's F-o'am said that's I'm sorry this week's f-o'am's meeting it's going to be viewed as double show bring in a monetary macro company cio joseph weighing kennifer can affect though you know if it's double let's say it's double for whatever reason can they really afford to give up job oning it feels like that's the most effective arrow in the quiver uh. you know because markets investors they take off pretty quickly when j-pow gives them the not and j-pow seems that he doesn't want to look foolish right inflation rebound so they're between a rock and a heart place trying to trying to articulate this does this issue talking about well absolutely child so what I've noticed in the past two years is that when the fed says I'm gonna hike higher for longer the market here's always going to cut rates really soon now tomorrow though when the fed probably is going to signal some type of pivot as it in the sense that we might be cutting a little bit next year just because inflation has come down I think the market is going to take that and just run with it and they already have right there pricing in almost five interest rate cuts next week and it's going to make a defense job harder because that's a little bit too much loosening in financial conditions what do you know but all in all though I'm sorry for them to adjust I'm sorry how many how many rates do you think at this particular moment would be reasonable for next year how many rate cuts I think three would be reasonable we have made serious progress on inflation so and the economy is slowing so I think having three show up in the dot plot tomorrow makes sense it'd be one more than I was in the September dot plot so I think it would be interpreted uh. as dovish compared to the last meeting but the market of course prices that in and a lot more already yeah uh.
the I get asked you about something that I'm trying to understand uh. you know this whole reverse repo market has been on fire but all of a sudden it's coming down hard we've got to chart up there just uh. it's it's been rapidly declining what message should we take from that yeah I used to run the reverse refill facility so what the reverse repo facility is it's like a giant checking account at the federal reserve and so a lot of investors have been putting money in that because they get high returns that the the offering rate there's close to the federal funds rate but now that interest rates are higher because of tremendous amounts of bill issuance money is coming out of the reverse repo facility and going into the baking sector so you've heard a lot over the past few months that m two has been declining money supplies been declining a lot of it is because it's been in the reverse repo facility now that's going to reverse so we can have a lot more money going to the banking sector liquidity will increase and to increase and I think a lot of people view that as risk positive maybe marginally so but I i i I i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i I i I i i i I i I i I I I i i i i I i i surprisingly amount of investors on trade off of that
Paragraph 1:
"What about the banks themselves and their exposure to the so-called belly of the curve, uh? You know, this sort of sweet spot with these T-bills, uh? It feels like they're still somewhat between a rock and a hard place. As the Fed acknowledged, in some kind of way, well they're expected to cut rates next year, right?"
Paragraph 2:
"So, I think as the cut next year, as rates decline, that's going to give banks a lot of them uh. Some room to breathe, right? Because they're going to be paying less on their deposit rates, and that's going to improve their interest rate margins. And as money comes out of the various repo facility, you can expect banks to have more liquidity. So, that's going to make them feel more secure."
Paragraph 3:
"Job-wise, I think it's just a squeeze. Is that because it seems like, uh, you've got to get the blueprint in mind, what's going to happen? But it seems like you're a little uneasy with the market becoming too excited about all this. Are you concerned that the stock market, even maybe the bond market, is getting ahead of itself?"
Paragraph 4:
"So, the bond market, definitely. But when I take a step back, I'm looking at tremendous amounts of deficit spending, seven percent this year, forecasted to increase without balance going forward. That's spending or buying goods and services by printing treasury securities. That is functioning money printing, and that's really bullish for the stock market from my perspective. Now, as long as the bond market stays under control, I would expect the stock market to continue to do well."
Paragraph 1:
"Now, eventually, though, I think the bond market's going to wake up and realize that this issuance just won't stop. And I think then, then we might have some more volatility. Yet, at the moment, it's not there yet.
