>"This is Putin's fault"

100 bp hike

>>49618516
he's probably gonna call in sick so he doesn't have to deal with this shit

>>49618516
Hopefully nothing, he’s already fucked up the economy enough

>>49618516
2 percent interest rate hike, because 1.75 is for wimps

>>49618516
Probably pause it because the united states can't survive a stock market crash, recession, and government debt implosion along with inflation that can't be tamed with rate hikes. We can live with inflation for a bit longer though, normies will be pissed either way.

>>49619201
>normies will be pissed either way.
They’re going to forget about it in a week anyways

>>49618516
Pivot.

>>49619281
Dems are going to lose midterms and next election no matter what they might as well capitulate to inflation and save reckless government spending. I heard treasuries went no bid today.

>>49618516
Its not a matter of what hes gonna do, its a matter of what hes gonna force us to do. Hope your brought lube anon

>pic very related

>>49618516
He needs to copy the Volcker Shock but he's a fucking pussy and won't do it

>>49619500
We'll never get a gigachad like this again.

>>49619201
That’s what everyone said last month. We got a fake pump followed by more dumping

>>49619564
/biz/ might not like it but that is what peak male performance looks like

>>49619500
Volcker could do that 15 percent rate hike because debt to GDP was only 25 percent at the time and it was only 3 years of pain for a harder populace that had lived through the great depression and WW2, we have 125 percent debt to GDP and a populace that will riot over stupid shit like the death of a fenty addict that's already seething over high gas prices that wouldn't be fixed by rate hikes anyway. We'd just have a meaningless depression. Only way out of inflation is hard work producing commodities and smart policy, better geopolitical strategy (no simping for ukraine)
>>49619595
The talk of a pivot came after the rate hike started more dumping.

>>49618581
I almost expect it. I fully embraced the clown world in 2021, been doing great ever since.

>>49619564
Based and Volckerpilled

>>49619770
Last month it was “75 is on the table” then Powell went with 50, market lit up that day and gapped right back down the next day. He’s probably going to say something like “inflation is hotter than we anticipated, 100 point hike is a little more than we’d so we’re going to go with 75 and see what happens”

>>49619201
Runaway inflation is their biggest worry. Demand destruction is the only tool they have and it's coming. Brace for a 100 bp hike on wednesday. The secondary effects will be even greater, glorious nippon and italy will not make it

>>49618516
He’s gonna put it all on DOGE

>>49619770
Has biden even reversed any of the anti-oil stuff he's done so far? I know they're giving out leases again but anything other than that?

>>49618754
This. They’re going to double the hike amount until inflation drops.

>>49620024
thing is everything is tanking, hiring freezes and layoffs are occurring and consumer spending is down, but inflation is still climbing. Rate hikes can't fix inflation unless you hike it above the inflation rate, but he can't hike much more if the treasury market is about to implode with everything else.
>>49620088
Its already runaway and demand destruction isn't happening, we have a 7 percent increase in flight bookings today you cannot stop revenge vacationers, you cannot stop commuters, you cannot stop people from eating bread. There's no point in destroying the economy + the united states government's ability to spend if we're still going to have supply shortages causing high inflation.
>>49620132
No, last time I checked he canceled those right after. The nigger woman that replaced Jen said "Oil companies need to do their part to help us" like they're obligated to save Brandon's approval ratings
>>49620138
Can't, we're already close to a worse crisis than just inflation that would be even harder to get out of.

>>49618516
Powell comes out.
He slowly walks up to the lecturn.
He looks into the camera and leans forward, into the mic.
His lips part slowly

In the distance sirens sound.

I heard about nobid on MBS, also no source

All the more reason to shake this shit out. Asset prices are detached from wages, no point working.

>>49619319
Lmfao. Underrated

>>49618754
Never gonna happen. People will blame Biden anyway. He has one job abd that is to keep stock market from crashing or at least a "soft landing"

Let's meme this into reality.

well thats what people thought until gas was 7/gallon. no longer possible for house prices to go up and stock market go up and gas price stay reasonable so you gotta choose. it doesnt look like they are gonna choose the stock market

They're
The most retarded thing a country can have is to let private companies take control of commodities

>>49620609
why not just make borrowing money punishable by death?

>>49620759
I would be for nationalizing energy and oil in the US. This is a no-brainer. If we aren't actually going to be capitalists (which we haven't been in decades) why are we handcuffing ourselves?

>>49620759
They are not obligated to help Brandon. Cope.
>>49620817
Imagine trusting the government to handle oil in the U.S. when the party in charge fell for the green energy meme

>>49620817
There is a difference between heavy regulation and nationalization...huge difference...such difference.

the most responsible thing that Biden could do, and has the power to do, is to restrict exports of US petroleum, which was how it was up until like the last two years of Trump. This would get gas prices back under 4 dollars easily.
This would completely fuck Europe, but fuck em

My guess is rate hike and then crashing this clown economy with no survivors, they now have a convenient scapegoat they can use (Putin), although what Putin is doing in Ukraine is undeniably fucked up, they'll do some gold medal tier mental gymnastics to explain it away as to why it's Russia's fault

>>49620887
>Imagine trusting the government to handle oil in the U.S. when the party in charge fell for the green energy meme
They didn't "fall for the meme."
They:
a. saw a population willing to vote for a party to do green things
b. saw an opportunity to send money to companies who actions (green) could not be measured, and as such, money could easily be given to cronies, instead of the most competent.

>>49620994

Back to leftypol

Then crash.

You can't lie about the price of food and gas dumbass

>>49620088
they'll have no choice but to open to tourism :)

Every news article and bank has started telling you a 75 bp hike is coming. The markets have started the week by dumping to shit. You don't think there gonna make you all panic sell just so they can raise it by 50 bp and then make you FOMO back in. I mean the market will continue to dump the rest of the summer but I'm calling bs for a relief rally Wednesday.

>>49621280
>sovereign country
you mispelled protectorate

>>49621321
I get this feel but inflation actually has to be controlled, it's a bigger problem than a recession or depression. the problem is it's not even that simple, a true crash could be worse than anything else

>>49621280
>Invading a sovereign country is le based
Yes?

Massive interest rate hike. Priced in. I think .8 myself.
There is some talk that Wall Street isn't down with the Great Reset. Jamie Dimon may be an unlikely, sociopathic ally, but clown world rules.

>>49618516
Whatever he does the story remains the same. The rich will be richer and you'll eat mortadella for dinner

>>49618625
That's the plan, Sam.

>>49618516
Just hike to insolvency and default already, this wait is so fucking annoying

>>49619679
Bullshit. That asshole set the stage for the off-shoring of American Industry.

It's quite easy actually, the GOB is full of the most ecompassing idiots of all time, but they're not totally incompetent, they know shit's coming, so to tackle economic disruption on a level never before seen they pump all the breaks, stop funding on schools and health and military and deposit three trillions in ADA to fund Adanimals, this, in return, triggers a massive panic-induced altrun on a scale that only tales have spoken of. The economy goes apeshit anyway and we all go full dystopia in three days, for the day that society still works as inteded is sweet, everything is green, hope is all around us

He should just jack the rates sky high and hope that everyone will blame Biden for the mess and forgets the Fed even exists.

>>49618516
Damn it really is starting to look like borrowing $6 trillion and inflating the money supply insanely to make everyone stay home for a meme virus for two years might not have been the smartest policy.

Oh wait, yeah, sorry, of course--it's Putin's fault. Damn this latest Hitler!!!1

>>49618516
0.75% interest rate raise
checkem

>>49621755
that's going to fuck the economy up even worse - more layoffs and so on.

>>49620390
Dollar is unironically going to be the last currency standing, maybe ruble too

>>49619500
Powell going to 4% would be Volcker going to 20%-tier

>>49620223
Was going to wtite something similar. In trying to destroy demand they would probably destroy supply by making a shitload of companies insolvent.

>>49618754
Digits and the interest rate gets raised to 6%

mumu...come hither. I yearn.

>>49618754
>>49620489
if Biden has any working brain cells left, he is leaning onto powell as hard as possible to pause until after midterms. If the fed speeds up tightening now, it's over for the Democrats in november. With the level of shit going on with gas prices, inflation, and now recession, Biden really has to be able to say by election day that his administration saved the markets, or at least didn't destroy them. Unironically they are already beginning showy attempts to distract from how bad economic/market problems, namely with the Jan 6 committee hearing which are produced like fucking primetime TV events

>>49622540
imagine the smell

>>49619201
You'd be surprised at how many would prefer a crash than just let them rising inflation strangle one's neck.

>>49619500
Powell is in a much worse spot.

>>49622662
If he doesn't keep hiking inflation will keep raping middle class wallets. It's unironically over

>>49620994
Putler is securing Banan in everyway as we speak, politically, militarily, and economically. It's over, NATOsisters.

>>49619770
the cause and solution to this new inflation is and has been geopolitical/policy problems, namely Covid and the Russia sanctions. The shock to energy/oil prices and other commodities--- and the way high energy prices rally the price of every other good--- began with supply chain issues caused by covid lockdowns, which continue to happen and disrupt these chains. Then the energy cost aspect with worsened by Europe losing a significant source of oil to sanctions. Obv it's a little more complex than the way I've stated, with other commodities and goods being affected by the war and lockdowns, but overall it's wild that the Fed is trying to treat these problems with monetary policy

>>49622866
main 3 drivers of inflation are food, energy, and housing
mortgage hiked to 5% and house sales are dropping hard, so that's targeted
and food + energy are supply issues not something that would be fixed by more rate hikes

>>49622958
>Fed is trying to treat these problems with monetary policy
Tbf, that is the only thing they Fed can do.

>>49621280
>muh sovereign country meme
You have to go back (to reddit)

>>49623015
But its not going to do anything, OPEC and oil producers made it clear they're not going to let oil crash. Biden already tapped out the SPR trying to do that. There is no spare capacity. They will shut down and simply wait for QE to begin production again, at much lower numbers.

>>49623015
true, I think what I mean is it's wild they don't recognize this inflation is being caused by geopolitical/policy issues and sit back and say, "this is not a problem for the Fed to try and attack... this is an issue for politicians." Instead they adopt monetary policy that won't solve the problems and stand to do a lot of damage

>>49619770
> a populace that will riot
That shit was organized by DNC members to fund DNC members.
It’s why it magically went away so quickly.
Most movements are lead by sociopaths and grifters who larp along for whatever it is.
Jan 6th was also organized by grifters, hell I wouldn’t be surprised if they arranged for that photo op before hand.
What with how the cops just let them in.

They have perfected this art infiltration and grift ever since occupy wallstreet.

>>49623249
and people will riot if we have to live through a great depression because jpow wanted to regain credibility

>>49623208
The government itself is to retarded and cowardly to do anything, whatever disaster falls they'll paste it on the fed and continue their usual grift. It's a bottomless pit of shit, almost makes many sympathize with Powell.

>>49623000
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Good. Fuck the Biden administration. I hope market turmoil and socioeconomic dissatisfaction ushers in the global Fourth Reich.

the dual mandate is stupid
making sure poor people without jobs don't die is the government's problem
the fed should only be worried about keeping prices stable

>>49623332
No, they’ll get involved with politics again.
And all the Shaniqua’s that “find” ballots for so many elections will suddenly have a lot more eyes on their activities.

>>49622866
It's energy, not interest rates. Volcker didn't do anything to stop inflation, all he did was bankrupt farmers and some home owners. It was oil prices plummeting that allowed rapid deflation.

>>49623570
>all he did was bankrupt farmers and some home owners
based

>>49618750
literally this, it will be called Putinflation. This will be the new rallying cry of every liberal who doesn't really understand what is going on or why. And the worst part is that if you don't believe that Putin caused inflation with the invasion of Ukraine, you're spreading fake news and denying an accepted fact. If you don't buy into that explanation, you will be written off as a fringe conspiracy theorist who believes the jewish illuminati bankers are fucking the world over with their scheme to manage money. How Anti-Semitic of you!

they can't afford to completely fuck over the market, the 401ks are on the line

Yeah? By having a surplus people have the free time to get involved with the local and by extension national government.
Start asking questions, getting involved?
If the local government can’t smooth things over they get voted out.
If they don’t get voted out then people start asking questions about what exactly shaniqua was up to with all those ballots at a local level.
Then maybe you’ll get your riots.

>>49618516
US dollar right now is risking being deplatformed as the world reserve currency in foreign global trade, which would have a more profound effect on it's value than a US recession.

Expect a big rate hike on Wednesday.

This summer is going to be fucking insane.

>>49623819
In a sane world, they would come out with a 100 point raise just to shock the markets. Then they could consider pausing next month.

>>49622662
Its already over for the democrats they haven't done a damned thing other than make everything worse.

just lol

>>49623909
>US dollar right now is risking being deplatformed as the world reserve currency in foreign global trade
No it's not

>>49624250
yes it is because of Russian sanctions, China and OPEC are making moves to neuter the dollar so they can't be sanctioned

>>49620489
Biden ordered him to lower the inflation. The fed is against the markets this time. And while thinking the inflation peaked a couple of weeks ago was a mistake 0,75 is very likely to happen.
People don’t understand that the FED is the enemy here, and presidents have hardly anything to do with it. Rep or Dem, the fed was driving it to hard

>>49623937
Correct but that's not on the table. The fed wants to avoid any shock because they're still pretending the free money leverage bubble has a possible comfortable landing

>>49624129
I have lower than average gas prices in my state because the local government lowered state taxes on gas.
Because incredibly, it’s almost like they understand that if people angry about gas show up, and they don’t have an answer for them, they are screwed.
Wow, incredible.

I know democracy is hard for you third worlders to understand, so maybe we the people could arrange for a cruise missile to give you a little “crash course” in democracy.

>>49620223
Nearly half of the us citizens live paycheck to paycheck and they are already topped off with their increasing costs. They can’t keep the inflation high, just dump the markets already

>>49622177
oh no

>>49624434
Do you not understand that this is supply shortage inflation that cannot be fixed with rate hikes and an economic crash? Producers will just stop producing, and then gradually ramp up production at a very slow pace to keep oil from going down too far again. We're not going back to negative oil because jpow wants his credibility back. You crash this economy just to fix inflation for a day, we'll be digging ourselves out of a fucking depression with a heavily armed angry populace that is already ready to kill each other and 3rd world living standards of food shortages and no gas is what will set that off.
>>49624450
They have to because the alternative is worse, the only thing they can do to fix it is force policy change to make production increases happen, and/or undo russian sanctions

>>49624299
do people even check the dxy when they say this shit?

>>49624729
They've never even heard of it, they just think BASED Russia and Chyna are "winning"

>>49624729
>>49624837
Russian ruble is so strong their central bank just started QE, if DXY's strength really mattered we wouldn't be at 8.6 percent inflation now would we

>>49624855
>uuuuh doesn't matter lol
fucking retard

>>49619564
Now THAT’S an economist

>>49624911
Prove it does nigger, if DXY matters why is inflation so high, why does it mean that countries that trade energy and commodities like Russia ditching the dollar doesn't matter?

>>49624729
>>49624837

The DXY is just a measure of the least dirty pair of underwear in the hamper, doesn't mean the 'cleanest' briefs still don't have skid marks. And it doesn't even have the whole basket of laundry in it, and each currency is weighted differently to the dollar % wise. The whole thing is rigged bullshit. They are all going to zero, just not at the same time.

>>49624624
> You crash this economy just to fix inflation for a day, we'll be digging ourselves out of a fucking depression with a heavily armed angry populace that is already ready to kill each other and 3rd world living standards of food shortages and no gas is what will set that off.

>>49618516
he should just say 5 percentage points, rip the bandaid off get on with it

>>49618516
He will do another meaningless 0.5% hike. Normies will get spooked and shook out the market and all the elites will slurp up everything. If people cannot see this is "you will own nothing and be happy" happening right before their eyes and feel smug for cashing out you're about to have a rude awakening when you try to get your assets back.

Maybe I'm dumb, but isn't inflation simply a function of both money supply and its velocity? The supply has drastically increased in the past two years, and now we're seeing high inflation as the money has to go somewhere, even with low velocity. If I'm not mistaken, velocity has been picking back up and this will turbo change inflation even more. How is this a "covid" or "supply" thing? It's basic common sense. Am I stupid here?

>>49618581
I expect basically this, if you think they are suddenly going to change course on destroying the global economy you're a retard.

>>49625075
By extension, the only way to slow inflation is to reduce the amount of money circulating. Aren't I right?

>>49624964

>"I can't explain myself but I don't want to look wrong so I'll just pretend I'm right"
8.6 inflation debunks this strong dollar nonsense.

>>49625075
That's half the story, but the Ukraine war, Russia sanctions, China's lockdown, and countries hoarding food are adding to food and gas shortages and causing price spikes.

>>49625093
you're asking me to explain basic shit to me, this tells me you don't know what you're talking about and are not worth having a conversation with

>>49618516
He's gonna get on the floor and do the dinosaur

>>49625151
You can't, 8.6 inflation > muh DXY otherwise we wouldn't be discussing anything right now.

PPI numbers are going to play into the Fed's narrative that a large portion of inflation is due to supply chain issues, and they are going to use that as an excuse to pause rate hikes. Watch.

>>49618516
He's going to walk up to the podium, turn 360 degrees, and walk away

>>49625091
You reduce the money velocity by tieing it up in savings account with a high interest rate.
Its like a BSC shitcoin with staking rewards to keep people from selling

>1 man

Come on maaan

If J-Pow actually had some semblance of creative thinking, they would do something completely off the wall like a 30 bp hike. "We believe that the target of 50 basis points would be detrimental to the markets at large. However, 25 basis points simply would not bring inflation to heel. And so, we are taking a moderated approach to the situation. 30 basis points will allow markets breathing room to recover, while keeping the pressure on inflation. Thank you, I will be answering no questions."

>>49620684
You act like it matters lol. You throw out technical jargon to try and flex or some shit. But you just sound like an idiot. It doesn't matter which one because the point is it's a clear indicator of systemic stress. One domino will tip the rest. We all fucking know that the banks didn't unwind shit after 08. They wound it up more. And that shit is so tight that the tiniest of fleas can fart and knock over the first domino.

I support chaos.

the fed's mandate is to control inflation and ensure maximum employment for the average hardworking american, not pump your worthless ponzi tokens

Lol. Lmao.
They are not doing a very good job at either one now, are they?

>government debt implosion
This part isnt really a concern to them though. The debt is paid out at full face value at maturity so they dont care if the buyers lose short term.

>>49619770
>125 percent debt to GDP
Im so tired of this meme. GDP isnt revenue and is a yearly calculation. The 30 trillion debt is total face value of the debt. Yearly payment is $500 billion, which is 1/8th of yearly revenue. Not 125%.

He cant. Inflation will never come down.

He might as well increase the interest rate by 10% and rip the bandaid off. An epic crash is coming anyway, there is no avoiding it. That's why I'm accumulating undervalued cryptos like FTM, MATIC, and CNDL right now. DeFi just launched on Candle Chain, so it's a good time to get in early.

>>49618516
This man is single handedly manipulating the market cause Biden threatened his job security. Textbook "fuck around, find out", Biden is a political retard for trusting his word. Then again, he's probably senile.

Trump is a retard as well, but at least he managed to get him to play ball

Accelerate.

Inflation is not a bigger problem than a recession or depression.

>>49622177
fucking based. when they go down, we do... down?

>>49623819
The deficit is real, GDP and trade trumps normie concerns, and the government saving its own ass is concern #1.
If runaway inflation and CoL were a serious concern for these guys they never would have printed in 2020 and we would have taken the COVID crash on the chin.

>>49626398
Would have been faster to write "I don't know". You made up the no bid on treasuries too.

>>49618516

>You crash this economy just to fix inflation for a day, we'll be digging ourselves out of a fucking depression with a heavily armed angry populace that is already ready to kill each other and 3rd world living standards of food shortages and no gas is what will set that off.
This guy gets it

>>49620813

Lol based retard. No borrowing at all, even with no interest to family. If that extended to welfare programs, too, we’d be doing pretty fucking great after a generation.

>>49625091
Correct but proper burns are not a real thing with fiat. They just promise you interest on the inflation money tomorrow if you dont spend the inflation money today. The can is kicked down the road but the inflation is still coming for you.

Consooming is the one thing normgroids love more than propaganda. Take it away from them at your own peril.

>>49618581
nah, inflation is no joke even in clown world.
if they don't counter it there will be literal blood on the streets.

>>49630614
Inflation makes consooming harder but keeps people employed.
A depression kills consooming entirely and leaves masses unemployed.

More people will want to earn $7.25/hr and pay $5/gal of gas than earn $0/hr and pay $4/gal of gas

>>49630640
If inflation were a real concern we never would have printed in 2020.

>You took a loan
>Pay it back
What don't boomers understand about this?

>>49630679
exactly
every empire in history has always made the decision to print money. slow death a bit later vs quick death now.
they will print like its going out of style and money will fall from fed helicopters if need be.

>>49630695
they wanted to save the present at that moment and said

There is no way they salvage this presidency

>>49620813
No, opposite. We need to return to our pre-kike medieval European roots and make charging interest punishable by detah. Either flat borrow, or a flat one time charge. This interest and debt shit has always been kikery. And our intuitive ancestors saw that shit and knew it was kikery.

>>49630944
sodomy takes what should be fruitful and makes it not while usury takes what should not be fruitful and makes it so.
they are joined at the hip where you find one you find the other and the kikes make use of both.
notice the current flag of the empire

>>49631006
Yep, Sodomy and usury punishable by death or exile.

>>49618516
dump it into oblivion to crush the inflation meme. he can do it without repurcissions , he just got reappointed early 2022 he can act like a gigachad now

75 basis points with absolutely zero remorse and a slow, rolling fire in his eyes. His face will remain as stone, but at the very end when he's leaving the stage you might catch the very edge of a smirk.

>He played an important role in President Richard Nixon's decision to suspend gold convertibility of the dollar on August 15, 1971, which resulted in the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. Volcker considered the suspension of gold convertibility "the single most important event of his career."

>Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't
He can damn just himself, or damn everyone.

If he goes full Volcker, he will cause a depression. If he pauses he will just go down in history as repeating the mistakes from the 70s, but the economy can chug along.

He should martyr himself and just let the monetarists call him names for decades from their ivory towers.

>>49636403
What if he just resigns on the spot?

>>49618516
He'll have a stroke.

>>49618516
It doesn’t matter, gold and silver will continue to drop, right?

>>49636528
Hope not. It is only thing I still own.

>>49636528
Gold will get fucked on a large rate hike, silver will get double fucked (industrial metal).

>>49636625
What about when the fed pivots and turns on the printers again?

>>49622177
I'm fucking ready

>>49618516
Who the hell is this old man that makes everyone talking about Wednesday? What will happen on Wednesday? Is my Btc tanking more and more? Are my Scrt, Eth, Atom and other alts tanking more too? What the fuck is actually going on?

>>49636770
IF the Fed pivots, they could go full Volcker until the country is in the greatest depression. Then it's apocalypse territory.

If Fed seesaws like they did in the 70s, gold will go up substantially. Silver less so.

>>49636835
What is going on? Don't hide this knowledge for me, retards

>>49636960
How about crypto? Don't tell me they are planning to kill it. In fact it's too decentralized, secured and private to be killed

>>49618516
All I can say is let's see what happens tomorrow. It's either we make it or break it. Either way, I'm not selling my long-term ETH, BNB, and RFOX bags. They may be down now but I'm certain they are not going to zero and that alone gives my comfy.

>>49627683
They're literally at a point where controlling inflation by raising rates equals destroying employment. They can't fulfill their mandate.

if they raise rates anymore they will have to start issuing UBI or else normies will riot.

Great Reset and Build Back Better dontcha know.

>>49639662
>They can't fulfill their mandate.
I was the FED evil lord making the big boy decisions. Interest rates would jump to 15% tomorrow.
Fuck the economy today to save it tomorrow. No more can kicking.
