The Fed is about to turn Nasty: PREPARE for -20%.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
everyone me Kevin here I have come to
the realization that Jerome Powell and
the Federal Reserve are just the barrows
Brothers ready to kick our ass and I
think that's exactly what's going to
happen in November the Federal Reserve
cannot afford to loosen any of their
talk on inflation and in this video I'm
going to show you exactly why and I'm
going to show you what to prepare for
because it's not quite yet what we're
expecting this video by the way brought
to you by ritual but more on them later
and of course we'll have a little bar
along the bottom in terms of timestamps
okay folks listen this morning something
came out known as the employment cost
index it comes out every single quarter
it came out at expectations at one two
or one point two percent which is an
indication of how much employment costs
are rising and personal spending came in
a little bit hotter than expected not so
great probably people spending money
over at Apple honestly but take a look
at this chart what I want you to know
about this chart is extremely simple
chart shows that yeah quarter over
quarter uh since actually q1 we have a
declining Trend here q1 we have a Peak
at 1.4 1.3 now 1.2 that's great we're
seeing a declining Trend in ECI but look
at that ECI chart relative to where it
has been over the past 12 to 14 years it
is almost twice if not three times as
high as its average of 0.4 or 0.5 that
means the FED cannot risk saying oh it
went down or Gucci no no no they need to
continue pain and this is why when
November 2nd comes around I'm not
expecting much belief that Jerome Powell
is ready to talk pivot or Pause by any
means maybe we'll see talk about 50 BP
rather than 75 but that is still hiking
that is still moving in a tightening
Direction and we're not quite sure how
long that'll last most now think we'll
go to five percent and I'll tell you
exactly why we'll go to a terminal rate
of five percent rather than this belief
that we're going to cap out where the
SCP the summary of economic projections
shows a cap out at 4.6 percent the
reason I believe we are actually likely
to go to five percent rather
than peaking at 4.6 percent or anything
even below that is very simple this
chart right here this is a chart of five
year Break Even inflation expectations
and I'll tell you the absolute worst
thing that the Federal Reserve could do
is motivate inflation expectations to
continue to rise like this we did a
really good thing after the Jackson Hole
Symposium that took place at the end of
August look at what happened to
inflation expectations Jerome Powell not
only crushed the stock market but he
made it so freaking clear that this
inflation fight will not end that he
successfully massaged inflation
expectations down to a near all-time low
that honestly we hadn't seen since about
the peak of inflation expectations in
2018 that's right the trough here the
bottom okay is basically the peak we saw
in 2018 which is kind of pathetic
because if we just look at this chart
it's like oh that looks good but when
you put it into that perspective it's
like oh that's not good because in 2018
Trump was hiking rates to the point
where Donald Trump threatened to fire
him but folks look at what has happened
just on this idea that the FED is going
to go soft that the fed's going to
loosen the regressive posture Market
expectations driven by the bond market
of inflation have started Rising again
to levels not seen since really before
the Jackson Hole Symposium that's a
problem and in my opinion gives cannon
fodder to Jerome Powell to say I must be
strong during this next meeting now what
I'd like to do next is go through this
Goldman summary here on some of the
things that have been said in some of
the red flags that we need to pay
attention to at the Federal Reserve
these also give some pretty critically
important expectations let's get into
those right now but first I want to
thank today's sponsor a ritual ritual is
a transparent multivitamin and a
well-researched solution to maintaining
a balanced diet in an Ideal World
multivitamins just don't exist ideally
we get all the vitamins and minerals
that we need within our diets but
oftentimes less is more and instead of
focusing on how you can maintain the
perfect diet and it's better to trust
the experts who have done the research
for you essential for men is an
extensively researched multivitamin that
helps fill in the nutritional gaps items
a diet and best of all they show you
every single ingredient every supplier
and every study that goes into their
vegan friendly multivitamin ritual also
has omega-3 DHA which is an omega-3
fatty acids super super important plays
an important role in helping support
brain health heart health and Eye Health
however unfortunately this is something
that many of us fall short on in our
regular diets and for obsessive label
readers ritual is vegan friendly non-GMO
certified and gluten free formulated
without any major allergens and unlike
other subscription-based companies
ritual is just is easy to start as it is
to end it takes about a dollar a day to
have essential nutrients delivered

here are the things to pay attention to
I highlighted the important comments on
the left they give you a date and then
the speaker name if you want to see you
could see that there as we go through it
important things are that look yes at
some point we're going to pull back from
75 but I think it's a mistake to think
that 75 means the FED is not likely to
be more aggressive than expected
remember the federal reserve's
expectation is we're going to cap out at
4.6 percent and the market seems to
roughly agree with this however most
Wall Street expectations are actually
suggesting suggesting the FED is going
to have to hike to about 5.0 percent
before they pause uh and that is
potentially expected to be around March
of 2022 and we've looked at some prior
data that suggests treasury yields tend
to Peak out about two to three months
before the peak which would really imply
that a peak and treasury yields is
actually still ahead of us and not
behind us even though the 10-year
treasury has softened on some recent
reports on this idea that the fed's
going to slow down to 50 basis points I
think Jerome Powell's speech is really
going to drive these rates right back up
because so far we haven't really had any
data to say that oh yeah things are
getting better in fact they're just
relatively stable and this is why you
see comments about a lack of progress on
curtailing inflation here's Clark
kashgari kashikari tends to be a little
more dovish saying I don't see why I
would Advocate at stopping at 4.5 or
4.75 we need to see actual progress
that's a five percent comment right
there for you now uh Bullard says we got
to get to some minimum level he's a
little bit more hawkish and then you
become data dependent so he's basically
saying we're not there yet just get keep
hiking and then we'll worry about the
data uh Mester says look high inflation
persists an indication that we need to
raise rates further Charles Evans comes
out and says look overshooting is costly
and there's uncertainty about how
restrictive fed policy must become but
I'll tell you probably one of the most
important comments is right here Mr
Bostick saying therein lies a risk of
repeating the Stop and Go approach of
what contributed to economic instability
in the 60s and 70s this is where
basically the FED had this like on and
off approach to raising rates and they
gave so much confusion to markets about
okay so are we pausing are we raising
are we slowing like what are we doing
there was so much confusion and
uncertainty that the FED lost so much
credibility that what ended up happening
was inflation expectations anchored and
they became so bad that we ended up with
the 70s where inflation expectations
were so high that we had to get Paul
volckert the last thing we want are
inflation expectations to arise and this
is exactly what's happening right now is
inflation expectations are rising this
means the FED has to be crystal clear
the FED probably has to rug pull us next
week and they have to be really strong
at least for another couple meetings and
make sure that markets don't doubt
the fed's seriousness of waiting until
inflation actually starts showing
meaningful core evidence that it has
peaked and I hate to say it but when we
look at actual commentary here again
kashgari cornflation has not yet shown
evidence that it has peaked now many say
look rental inflation is just a lie
garden and it is already peaked but then
you've got people like Bullard saying
look I don't think rental inflation is
going to be persistent but then you've
got individuals like Bullard coming out
and saying I actually do think that
rental inflation is going to be
persistent it's widespread and it's
going to be persistent and that's why
we're going to have to be higher for
longer the war in Ukraine continues to
move on the last thing we want as said
by cook is that inflationary psychology
to take hold like we saw in the 70s
shelter inflation likely to remain high
for several months and services prices
continue to rise at a fast clip this one
particularly by Bostic saying I continue
to hear a very strong demand for
in-person services like restaurant meals
I'll tell you this I was reading and
we'll go through this on the course
member stream this morning I was going
through the Chipotle earnings call and
I'll tell you they are still seeing the
power to raise prices the only people in
able to actually continue going to their
store are poor people but otherwise the
people who continue to go to Chipotle
who have a little bit more money they
continue to accept pricing that chipotle
provides and that's a sign that even
with their recent price increase in
August then inflationary numbers are
still going to Trend up
just not good now hopefully there's this
Hope from Williams that inflation will
decline to three percent next year as we
rely heavily on Commodities which are
showing indications of having peaked but
unfortunately I don't think any of the
data that we've recently gotten whether
it was the pce inflation numbers that
came out this morning or the ECI give
any Credence to this idea that oh yeah
Jerome Powell is going to go soft on us
in this November meeting I think it's
much more likely that drum Powell has to
come out and talk these inflation
expectations down then two days after
their meeting we're going to get an
employment report and then shortly after
that we're going to get a new CPI report
So within two weeks after the next fed
meeting then we're actually going to get
jobs data and inflation data and then
after that if we look at the fomc
meeting calendar we're going to have the
December meeting now the December
meeting is kind of neat because see the
December meeting happens on December
13th and 14th and we get a new summary
of economic projections now why is that
so important well because again the
November numbers are going to be based
on data that we currently have which is
not good and inflation expectations are
rising this is going to be a bad meeting
in my opinion the beautiful thing about
the December meeting is going to be a
little different we're going to have
uh data for jobs that comes out on
November 4th we're going to have jobs
data that comes out on the first Friday
in December and you could write those
things on your calendar okay November
4th and the first Friday of December are
going to be the jobs reports coming up
uh and then CPI reports are going to
come out on November 10th notice that's
after the FED meeting by about eight
days and December 13th which is
literally the morning the FED meeting in
December starts so going into November
we really get no good news higher
inflation expectations no good news
going into December we actually get two
jobs reports and two CPI reports so
December is the meeting that's probably
going to make or break markets if these
next two reports show real meaningful
declines
we're going to the freaking moon for
Christmas boys and girls
if we get some dirty dirty numbers of
these next two reports
get your anti-venom potions ready
because we screwed
anyway thank you so much for watching
good luck out there use that Halloween
coupon code and folks we'll see you soon
goodbye
