The Biden administration keeps proving that personnel are policy. Biden himself is a kind of empty vessel into which different wings of the Democratic party pour their will, yielding a strange brew of appointments both great and terrible. 1/

On the one hand, you have progressive appointments like #JonathanKanter at @JusticeATR and @linakhanFTC at the @FTC, leaders who are determined to challenge and curb corporate power:

The #FederalReserve Chairman #JeromePowell spoke indicating the Fed not pivoting but slowing interest rate increases if the #StockMarket behaves & #PCE & #CPI inflation data is OK.
#Stocks have been vulnerable to THE KISS OF DEATH.
Let's take todays #PCE Data report 1-by-1

1.) Jobless claims - close enough to market expectation (Neutral)
2.) Continuing jobless - higher than previous (Fed will like this, so good for stocks, sadly)
@federalreserve #JeromePowell is the #LordCommanderoftheWall, the black suits stoic and regal, silently defending us from pure chaos, by building the highest #interestrate wall that we have ever seen in person before. What soundlessly waits is utterly terrifying.
As #inflation rises, a lot of things are becoming stickier and blazing hot like 🐉 🔥, endlessly surrounding all sectors. The world maybe burning silently; but, America is not #kingslanding
We are #WinterFell, it’s denizens are the protectors, the defenders, and we are the freest western land in the world, where you can enter a Snow experiencing #maxpain and absorbing the #fomc #75bbs hikes as if the 🐉 🔥 wasn’t burning at all.
Here are a few slides I sent the guys by way of a pre-amble:

As the FED @federalreserve searches for candidates to fill Fed Governor positions, their team is ranking new candidates on 4 categories: 1. Economics 2.Financial Markets/Banking 3.Leadership 4.Diversity. They recently had one open position down to a handful 1/4
candidates whereby they were then ranked on the new system. The Fed kills any candidates who fail the “diversity” category regardless of their capacity to understand, govern, and overall merit. The FED is the single most important economic 2/4
Institution in the world. Given the inflationary mess the US and the world face today, walking away from the absolute top candidates due to the diversity issue is incredibly short-sighted and doing our country and the world a major disservice in our time of extreme need. 3/4
1/9 don't think so much about #jeromepowell, check out the deleveraging happening in the option chain! here is why:
2/9 options gained enormous popularity in 20/21, especially in retail, which peaked in the meme stock mania in Jan/Feb 21. this was fueled by the monetary and fiscal stimulus which created a rare case of a bull mkt with a sustained vix >20, ideal setup for momentum strategies.
3/9 options are leveraged bets, they can fuel bull runs, but also exacerbate corrections once the deleveraging process starts. last year, total option vol has been 2x the '19 level in terms of # of contracts traded.
Thanks to @GeoffCutmore, @cnbcKaren & the #SquawkBox team for having me on this morning's show.
We discussed #bonds & #centralbanks, touched on #supplychains & talked of #Growth's vulnerability, #commodities' appeal.

We talked about - what else? - #inflation and #centralbanks and whether the #Fed & peers are 'making an historic mistake', in Steve's words.

2/It's trite to say the jump in price indices is *all* attributable to a 'basis effect' when they've accelerated so much THIS year.
3/ #JeromePowell and his merry band may wish to believe that the rise is a mere blip, but all too many businessmen & women (i.e., the people who *really* matter) seem to believe the converse is the case.

22nd Sep, POWELL: “Many of our programs rely on emergency lending powers that require the support of the Treasury Department and are available only in unusual circumstances.”

low inflation , but rather the low real interest rate
Ever since central banks embarked on their near zero interest rate policies and large scale asset purchase programme , Reality has proved them wrong , we have seen trends towards deflation rather than inflationary pressures

Post 2020, what we are seeing is loss of jobs and low employment levels , in case there is severe declines in demand side , and If employers are unwilling or unable to reduce wages they will have to reduce the number of employees,
Folks @FortuneMagazine surveyed the CEOS of the world's largest corporations about #COVID19 #pandemic and The Great Recession/Depression. Some of the results may shock you. First of all, about half of all jobs are not coming back until a year from now, or never.

2/CEOs survey
Most of the CEOs surveyed have done layoffs & furloughs, and plan to come out of the other end of the #COVID19 crisis with leaner, tech-heavy transformed businesses. Few plan to increase their labor forces.

@FortuneMagazine found that #COVID19 has business leaders thinking well of US Governors, #JeromePowell and themselves (fellow CEOs).
And thinking badly of China, #Trump , @WHO & the US federal govt.

In a world where people still starve (though thankfully proportionately fewer over time) and material needs in general are unsated, there can be no #savingsglut. There CAN be misallocations of saving -due to corrupted price signals or corrupted polities, or both- but that’s...
...a very different matter.
Secondly, ‘saving’ is supposed to represent an available resource -whether for consumption or production, whether material or human. It is NOT something which magically appears when the #centralbank & its minions sit behind a keyboard...

If #JeromePowell or M #Lagarde cause a million smackers to appear in everyone’s account overnight, bank balances will have risen; #savings, will NOT. Even a man as unnuanced as Mussolini got this, sneering that Italians’ wealth would not rise if they all had more printed...
