in the next 36 hours your opportunity to

0:03

get first access at the series a by just

0:05

being a course member which is like

0:07

triple quadruple value goes away because

0:10

the pricing will be substantially worse

0:13

if you try to buy in the future so try

0:15

to get yourself into the programs of

0:16

building your wealth before the end of

0:18

the day of July 28th we'll see you

0:21

there's have you heard of the Powell

0:22

curve well this Powell curve could be

0:25

what determines whether or not the FED

0:27

ends up pushing us into a recession

0:29

forcefully to bring down inflation or

0:32

not the Powell curve is very very

0:34

important in fact the Powell curve is

0:38

Jerome Powell's answer to why we're not

0:42

going to have a recession or at least

0:44

that's what he said so in March which

0:47

what's very interesting here is in March

0:49

Jerome Powell said fear not we will not

0:52

have the r word no matter whether you

0:55

define it via Biden's definition or how

0:58

the markets actually viewer recession

1:00

which is two coordinates of negative GDP

1:02

we won't have the r word because fear

1:04

not the Powell curve is steepening what

1:08

do you mean potentially the Powell curve

1:10

going down my line is going up and as

1:13

long as my line is going up we won't

1:16

have a recession yes folks literally the

1:19

Powell curve is drone Powell's excuse

1:22

that as long as the line goes up we are

1:27

Gucci and as long as the line goes up

1:29

the FED should continue to be a little

1:32

Hawk and not a dove but those big boy

1:34

pants on and talk dirty to us about how

1:37

they're going to raise interest rates

1:38

make everything more expensive constrain

1:40

our wealth and force demand down because

1:42

by forcing demand down inflation will go

1:44

down and then we can go back to printing

1:46

more money in the future which is what

1:48

makes j-pow happy if you saw my uh

1:50

Halloween video you remember it was all

1:52

about giving away money because that's

1:54

what j-pow does anyway he wants to go

1:57

back to being happy but right now the

2:00

power curve is going up or was it well

2:03

yes it was that was March so what has

2:06

happened to the power curve and what

2:08

even is the power curve and why is it

2:11

important for you to know about it well

2:13

again it's important for you to know

2:14

about it because it dictates how J

2:16

Powell responds and Jerome Powell was

2:18

right going up through March the pout

2:21

curve has been doing this in a very very

2:23

dramatic fashion now I'm going to tell

2:25

you what the pow curve is Powell curve

2:28

and then I'll talk to you about what

2:30

it's been doing by showing it to you so

2:32

the way you do the Powell curve is you

2:35

simply take the three-month treasury

2:38

yield so that sounds fancy but it's just

2:42

basically if you put your money into a

2:45

three-month t-bill what's the annualized

2:49

yield that you're expecting from that

2:52

bond in other words since it's only

2:53

three months you have to multiply it by

2:55

four and then you get an annualized

2:56

yield right don't worry so much about

2:58

that what number is the chart at for the

3:01

three month yield and if that is at 2.5

3:04

percent great we got ourselves part one

3:08

of the equation then we want to look at

3:10

the three month yield 18 months out and

3:15

that's because people play in the

3:17

Futures market and go we think treasury

3:19

yields are going to be at X percent in

3:22

18 months on the three month annualized

3:25

of course and if that number is three

3:27

percent then the spread or the distance

3:31

between these two numbers is 0.5 percent

3:36

well folks the difference between these

3:40

two numbers has run up to in excess of

3:43

2.5 percent roughly around the time

3:47

Jerome Powell said hey my curve is still

3:49

going up which says no recession and we

3:53

keep on hike hike hike doodling well

3:56

what has the curve done since March

3:59

here you go folks this is the Powell

4:02

curve the Powell curve has plummeted and

4:07

could potentially be at risk of

4:09

inverting within the next month which

4:12

generally when the Powell curve inverts

4:15

as you could see what happened over here

4:17

in early 2020 when the power curve

4:19

inverted we ended up having a recession

4:21

within 18 months thereafter oh and take

4:23

a look at other times it's inverted oh

4:25

right before the.com bubble oh and right

4:27

before the 2008 recession so no it's not

4:30

only because of a 100 Year pandemic it's

4:32

because economic and bond market

4:34

conditions have aligned in such a way

4:36

that when you get an inversion of the

4:37

Powell curve you could potentially have

4:40

one of the most reliable indicators of a

4:42

recession even more reliable than that

4:45

famous tend to inversion potentially

4:48

because as the Powell curve inverts it

4:51

can be a sign that you're even closer to

4:53

a recession than we previously thought

4:55

now we have not had an inversion in the

4:58

power curve yet you can see here we sit

5:00

around that 50 basis point spread

5:01

however because the power curve is

5:05

falling so rapidly because of

5:07

expectations of the federal reserve's

5:09

actions and what the Federal Reserve has

5:12

actually been doing that is they are

5:14

literally starting to walk the walk

5:16

rather than just talk the talk well now

5:18

we're starting to see an inversion or

5:20

the direction of a potential inversion

5:23

coming in the power curve what's great

5:25

about this is that the more we get the

5:27

Federal Reserve walking the walk the

5:30

more the market say okay okay well we we

5:32

trust you now we trust you now you're

5:33

you're gonna do what you say you're

5:35

going to do we believe you can we scale

5:37

it back a little bit now okay can we

5:38

just scale it back a little bit because

5:40

here's the thing no matter what happens

5:42

at today's fomc meeting the big thing is

5:45

going to be what's going to happen in

5:48

September November and December the

5:51

markets have pretty much told us that

5:52

today July 27th we are expecting a 75

5:57

basis point hike that is going to bring

5:59

us to a Fed funds rate of about 2.25 and

6:03

the odds of this is sitting at about 73

6:05

percent right now so we're pretty

6:07

certain we're going to get this kind of

6:09

hike then we get to about a 50 50 chance

6:12

that we're going to get a 75 basis point

6:14

hike again and then a 50 over in

6:17

September and then in November and

6:20

December we're probably looking at

6:22

either 50s or 25s TBD that so much

6:25

doesn't matter right now what really

6:27

matters is the following factors okay

6:31

this is what I want you to pay attention

6:33

to I don't want you to so much get

6:34

confused by Waller and Ballard planning

6:36

for a 75 basis point hike or Esther

6:38

George dissenting last time going for a

6:40

50 basis point hike that's that's not so

6:42

much really what matters right now here

6:44

is the exact list for the next three

6:47

months what you got to pay attention to

6:48

when it comes to the Federal Reserve

6:50

because remember they're often August

6:51

and they don't have a meeting in August

6:53

so we're not going to be seeing Jake

6:55

Powell talk to us for uh well at least

6:57

in the capacity of of standing in front

6:59

of the fomc Federal Open Market

7:01

Committee I'm sure he'll be having

7:03

plenty of wonderful interviews to talk

7:05

our Market to death between now and then

7:07

so he won't be gone but he won't be in

7:10

front of the fomc but in the meantime

7:11

what is it that we're looking for from

7:14

J-pop well folks number one is we want

7:17

his reaction to the Powell curve the

7:21

reason we want his reaction to this is

7:23

because if he says okay the market is

7:26

telling us we've done our job now it's

7:28

time to do the famous old U-turn that is

7:32

going to be a huge Buy Signal to markets

7:35

remember markets have bottom every

7:37

single time the Federal Reserve has

7:39

u-turned whether that was in 89 in 2003

7:43

in 2009 at the beginning of 2009 in 2018

7:46

in December or in March of 2020. all all

7:50

of these Market crashes bottomed when

7:53

the FED u-turned therefore if the Powell

7:57

curve is enough for Powell to finally go

7:59

okay yeah my curve is no longer going up

8:03

into the moon it's it's time to U-turn

8:05

because I want my curve to go back to

8:07

the Moon uh then then you know what if

8:10

he recognizes that that would be deemed

8:12

as bullish so we want to see some kind

8:14

of reaction to the power curve now

8:15

that's going to be dressed up so you're

8:17

gonna have to look for it because you're

8:18

going to hear them talk about the

8:19

difference between near-term rates and

8:21

Futures rates when you hear those words

8:23

near term rates Futures rates that is

8:26

power curve talk okay nobody's gonna

8:28

stand there at the fomcb and go so

8:31

Powell your curve looks like it's about

8:33

to invert any kind of talk about the

8:36

three-month near-term and medium-term

8:38

rates that's what you're going to look

8:39

forward to or even forward rates might

8:42

be another way to say it okay pow curve

8:44

pay specific attention to this very very

8:46

critical today number two we want to pay

8:50

attention to Jerome Powell's reaction to

8:53

GDP data well GDP data comes out

8:56

tomorrow which is July 28th which is

8:59

also the day the coupon code expires on

9:01

the programs I'm building your Wealth

9:03

live streams with me every day the

9:04

market is open when I'm in the office

9:05

and as much as I can when I'm traveling

9:07

which is very very difficult sometimes

9:08

but I plan not to be traveling much

9:11

anymore after this trip here but anyway

9:13

awesome continue to add a beautiful

9:15

fundamental analysis lectures whether

9:17

it's in real estate or stocks and

9:19

greater discussions with the community

9:21

there so make sure to check out those

9:22

programs cut that coupon expires the

9:24

same day as GDP data which is tomorrow

9:25

now why do we care about j-pal and GDP

9:28

data well the reason we care about j-pal

9:30

and GDP data is very simple because

9:32

Biden is trying to redefine what it

9:35

means to be in a recession he says no no

9:37

a recession is only called when the

9:39

National Economic Bureau research Bureau

9:41

whatever when these folks say it's a

9:43

recession the problem the problem is

9:45

those folks tend to take 4 to 14 months

9:50

after a recession to actually tell you

9:52

yeah damn I guess we were in a recession

9:55

so the markets are like we don't care

9:57

about these morons at all if we get two

10:00

quarters in a row of negative GDP we are

10:03

technically in a recession so take your

10:04

definition and shove it where the sun

10:06

don't shine and we're gonna be in a

10:09

recession stop trying to BSS why don't

10:11

you actually talk straight to us for

10:13

once oh right because you're a

10:14

politician anyway so GDP data comes out

10:18

on the 28th and obviously Jay Powell has

10:20

having his meeting on the 27th so we

10:22

want to get an understanding from Jay

10:23

Powell hey Jay Powell

10:25

really gotta know man

10:27

do you think if we get two quarters in a

10:30

row of negative GDP we're gonna be in

10:31

recession and he's gonna be like well

10:32

yeah you know the textbooks have uh

10:34

traditionally told us that uh that is

10:36

the definition of recession and uh

10:38

that's generally what we're inclined to

10:40

believe now I don't know why all of a

10:41

sudden I sound like George Bush but

10:42

whatever we want to know his definition

10:45

of GDP uh because that will also impact

10:48

his uh response to the power curve the

10:51

potential inversion of the power curve

10:53

next up number three

10:56

oh God

10:58

I'm coughing because this one's so full

11:00

of BS

11:03

we gotta understand

11:05

does Powell think that we're at Peak

11:08

uh Peak CP lie I mean CPI data so uh CPI

11:12

data thoroughly by the bond market is

11:15

being told to have hit Peak and that's

11:18

because a consumer inflation

11:19

expectations have peaked and are going

11:22

down inflation Expectations by the bond

11:24

market have peaked and are plummeting

11:26

they're at the lowest levels that we've

11:28

honestly seen in a year which is

11:30

remarkable commodity prices are falling

11:32

copper Industrial Metals like iron

11:34

falling nickel falling lithium

11:37

stabilizing uh wheat we've got some

11:39

drama here recently because of some

11:41

rockets that uh that came uh over to the

11:44

Ukraine after a wheat deal between

11:45

Russia and the Ukraine but we don't do

11:47

so much talk about this the point is if

11:50

Peak is behind us

11:52

and Jerome Powell admits that the peak

11:55

is potentially behind us

11:57

it could be very very Gucci for the

11:59

markets in fact uh let's just take a

12:02

look right here okay all right uh this

12:04

uh this right here is what the chart

12:06

looks like you can see we are literally

12:09

below where we were a year from now on

12:13

inflation breakevens and this chart

12:15

usually plummets three to four months

12:17

before the CP lie Falls uh and um yeah I

12:22

I personally would be planning for the

12:24

CP lie to be coming down uh and and I

12:27

kind of am so anyway uh this this is

12:29

important these are the three important

12:31

things that we gotta watch for for Mr J

12:33

Powell going forward whether it's at the

12:36

fomc meeting or thereafter along with

12:37

that coupon code folks we'll see in the

12:39

next one goodbye
