The US Federal Reserve has two imperatives: keeping #employment high and #inflation low. When these conflict - when unemployment goes near-zero - the Fed forgets all about #FullEmployment, cranking #InterestRates to "cool the economy" (AKA "increasing #unemployment"). 1/

An economy "cools down" when workers have less money, which means that the prices offered for goods and services go down, as fewer workers have less money to spend. 3/
#PCE #Core #Inflation keeps rising.
Main indicator for the #FederalReserve when judging whether or not to continue raising #interestrates.
#Powell was quite clear in his speeches that they will continue raising "into pain" as long as price stability is not achieved.

By "into pain", they are primarily referring to their dual mandate of price stability (#inflation) and maximum #Employment.
But there is not much pain showing up in the job market.
Last weekly jobless claims hit a 5-month low.

So to summarize, #TheFed has 2 jobs:
1. Reduce #inflation (not done)
2. Maximize #employment (done)
And they've been adamant about raising #rates until 1. is done, even at temporary setbacks to 2.
Unless they plan on pulling a #BoE, anything short of #75bps/#100bps is hopium.

Are $5 egg sandwiches a thing of the past? Let’s break down what happened yesterday… 🧵 1/9
I won’t admit I am getting old but when I was younger an egg sandwich at an NYC deli cost $1.50—I sound like my dad so I will stop—but everything is expensive now. It makes sense because eggs, bacon, salt, bread, gas for the grill, insurance, etc. are all costing a lot more. 2/9
The fight is underway ➡️ Yesterday, the #thefed raised interest rates by .5%, acknowledging the rising costs we’re all feeling, which is due to #inflation. 3/9
Notice how expensive gas, milk, and eggs are lately? Wonder why? 🧵 1/7
The answer is #Inflation, which is a general increase in prices over time. Inflation causes your money to lose value over time - prices go up, and $1 can buy less than it did before. High inflation causes your money to lose value faster. So the things you buy cost more $. 2/7
Inflation is typically about 3% per year, meaning things get about 3% more expensive each year. Over the past 12 months, inflation rose to 8.5%, which is insane! This is exactly why things are so much more expensive now. 3/7

Was the election of Donald Trump a miracle? An act of God? Is Trump blessed?
I have previously made the assertion that Hillary is certainly no fan of God's. Quite the opposite, she aligns with Satan.
You might not be religious. (((They))) are.
