#CentralBanks have limited tools, like interest rate reduction, to influence economic growth. Without the ability to lower rates further, central banks must strategically increase the supply of money.

The four unpleasant means to get #inflation under control:
1) Keep rising rates.
2) Getting rid of all (useless) Covid restrictions + NO more stimulus.

#inflation = excess (monetary) demand over supply.
You need to get demand down and/or supply up to get price pressures under control.
Current situation is an (insane) combo of stimulus and demand destruction. We, e.g., should do everything to grow energy production. 2/

Great Depression in a single tweet. 1920-1928 was a period of avg growth including 2 recessions. The stock market did 4x between 1921-1929(leveraged purchases). Valuations did not reflect economic reality. Fed hikes-stocks collapse-aggregate demand collapses & rest is, history.
Fast Forward 100 years. Over past 9 years the SP500 was up 2.3X. US Real Economic growth avg 2% at same time. History doesn't repeat but does rhyme. Valuations didn't reflect economic reality and even after a brutal 2022, they still don't reflect reality.
So the question is why then is economy still not entered recession? Simple answer. Aggregate demand. Unemployment is low. Wages are rising. Consumers still spend because they have some confidence in the future. We haven't yet seen demand destruction. Sequencing matters.....
Since #WWII, #USA has used #USdollar hegemony to transfer domestic crises, harvest world #wealth and undermine the economic and financial stability of other countries through armed conflicts, financial wars, and trade wars. To maintain US dollar is to maintain US world hegemony.
Since March 2022, #FederalReserve has raised interest rates 6X. On 2 Nov, its 75-point rate hike and sharp #USdollar appreciation caused global #currency depreciation, capital outflows, rising debt servicing costs, hiked imported inflation and currency/debt crises of countries.
New thread on the #SecondGFC follows.
So Moody’s has downgraded the UK as a “warning sign” re the volatility of £ & UK politics. One of the rating agencies that awarded top grades to junk bonds etc in the #GFC. A 100 yrs ago Moody himself gave the UK our now lost top rating. How times change. C/f £⬇️ since then.
Clearly governments were in charge of the markets then. And now, shockingly, markets seem to be in charge of governments! The “markets” are warning the UK to appoint the right finance minister and maybe PM. [lunch beckons, more to follow]

2/ The problem with #inflation is that it's a very personal experience.
As I always say, the wallet is the most sensitive organ in the body, so my inflation might not be your inflation.
In fact, my inflation could be seen as #disinflation by you... (more on that later)

3/ Price inflation and monetary inflation have different definitions:
* For many.- #inflation is the increased prices paid for goods & services.
** To others.- it's a decline in the purchasing power of your #money.
*** In layman's terms.- Too much money chasing too few goods.

Did someone warn you of the current #inflation, #recession, and #bearmarket in equities? Did you get out or reallocate in time? Breaking even? Maybe even profit?

On Monday $ fell to its lowest level in a basket of currencies bucking its recent trend as investors have grown nervous ahead of US inflation data with other Central Banks like ECB/ BOE etc adopting a more hawkish stand. This will determine the extent of the next Fed rate hike.
So far the US economy exhibiting resilience with multiple data points pointing towards a probable softer landing than a recession has helped the dollar index strengthen.
India has been bucking the trend with the Rupee depreciating against the dollar on account of global sentiments but strengthening against other currencies. The rupee’s ability to stem the fall with RBI looking at holding the figure of 80 seems to be paying off along with other
The global economy has changed dramatically this year, and financial markets have turned volatile. The question on everyone’s mind now is…

#BullWhip effect as per @michaeljburry:
All know that rising #inflation is negative for #Equity markets as #CentralBanks (CB) tend to raise rates to control #demand - which in turn can lead to #Recession. During this phase #demand outpaces #supply.

@PensionCraft
Demand contracts for some time and supply also contracts with a lag. Post that demand starts to rise (post COVID), prompting manufacturers to increase supply disproportionately - creating a supply glut. This puts downward pressure on prices,inflation comes down. CBs turn dovish
This creates disinflationary phenomena. Though looks good on paper for equity markets, prices of all products come down substantially.
This is called #BullWhip effect.
Supply outpaces demand. Prices collapse, inventories pile up, margins shrink.
This slows earnings growth

1/According to the author the invasion of Ukraine has silenced the debate about “transitory” inflation. But where central banks stood impacts how they react. Initially the idea was that inflation was the result of supply issues that could be ignored. This view lost out.
2/Central banks made hawkish turns and have painted themselves into a corner, as the Ukraine crisis has brought a new supply shock. Central banks committed to tightening when the second shock made things worse.
