FULL TRANSCRIPT
in the next 36 hours your opportunity to
get first access at the series a by just
being a course member which is like
triple quadruple value goes away because
the pricing will be substantially worse
if you try to buy in the future so try
to get yourself into the programs of
building your wealth before the end of
the day of July 28th we'll see you
there's have you heard of the Powell
curve well this Powell curve could be
what determines whether or not the FED
ends up pushing us into a recession
forcefully to bring down inflation or
not the Powell curve is very very
important in fact the Powell curve is
Jerome Powell's answer to why we're not
going to have a recession or at least
that's what he said so in March which
what's very interesting here is in March
Jerome Powell said fear not we will not
have the r word no matter whether you
define it via Biden's definition or how
the markets actually viewer recession
which is two coordinates of negative GDP
we won't have the r word because fear
not the Powell curve is steepening what
do you mean potentially the Powell curve
going down my line is going up and as
long as my line is going up we won't
have a recession yes folks literally the
Powell curve is drone Powell's excuse
that as long as the line goes up we are
Gucci and as long as the line goes up
the FED should continue to be a little
Hawk and not a dove but those big boy
pants on and talk dirty to us about how
they're going to raise interest rates
make everything more expensive constrain
our wealth and force demand down because
by forcing demand down inflation will go
down and then we can go back to printing
more money in the future which is what
makes j-pow happy if you saw my uh
Halloween video you remember it was all
about giving away money because that's
what j-pow does anyway he wants to go
back to being happy but right now the
power curve is going up or was it well
yes it was that was March so what has
happened to the power curve and what
even is the power curve and why is it
important for you to know about it well
again it's important for you to know
about it because it dictates how J
Powell responds and Jerome Powell was
right going up through March the pout
curve has been doing this in a very very
dramatic fashion now I'm going to tell
you what the pow curve is Powell curve
and then I'll talk to you about what
it's been doing by showing it to you so
the way you do the Powell curve is you
simply take the three-month treasury
yield so that sounds fancy but it's just
basically if you put your money into a
three-month t-bill what's the annualized
yield that you're expecting from that
bond in other words since it's only
three months you have to multiply it by
four and then you get an annualized
yield right don't worry so much about
that what number is the chart at for the
three month yield and if that is at 2.5
percent great we got ourselves part one
of the equation then we want to look at
the three month yield 18 months out and
that's because people play in the
Futures market and go we think treasury
yields are going to be at X percent in
18 months on the three month annualized
of course and if that number is three
percent then the spread or the distance
between these two numbers is 0.5 percent
well folks the difference between these
two numbers has run up to in excess of
2.5 percent roughly around the time
Jerome Powell said hey my curve is still
going up which says no recession and we
keep on hike hike hike doodling well
what has the curve done since March
here you go folks this is the Powell
curve the Powell curve has plummeted and
could potentially be at risk of
inverting within the next month which
generally when the Powell curve inverts
as you could see what happened over here
in early 2020 when the power curve
inverted we ended up having a recession
within 18 months thereafter oh and take
a look at other times it's inverted oh
right before the.com bubble oh and right
before the 2008 recession so no it's not
only because of a 100 Year pandemic it's
because economic and bond market
conditions have aligned in such a way
that when you get an inversion of the
Powell curve you could potentially have
one of the most reliable indicators of a
recession even more reliable than that
famous tend to inversion potentially
because as the Powell curve inverts it
can be a sign that you're even closer to
a recession than we previously thought
now we have not had an inversion in the
power curve yet you can see here we sit
around that 50 basis point spread
however because the power curve is
falling so rapidly because of
expectations of the federal reserve's
actions and what the Federal Reserve has
actually been doing that is they are
literally starting to walk the walk
rather than just talk the talk well now
we're starting to see an inversion or
the direction of a potential inversion
coming in the power curve what's great
about this is that the more we get the
Federal Reserve walking the walk the
more the market say okay okay well we we
trust you now we trust you now you're
you're gonna do what you say you're
going to do we believe you can we scale
it back a little bit now okay can we
just scale it back a little bit because
here's the thing no matter what happens
at today's fomc meeting the big thing is
going to be what's going to happen in
September November and December the
markets have pretty much told us that
today July 27th we are expecting a 75
basis point hike that is going to bring
us to a Fed funds rate of about 2.25 and
the odds of this is sitting at about 73
percent right now so we're pretty
certain we're going to get this kind of
hike then we get to about a 50 50 chance
that we're going to get a 75 basis point
hike again and then a 50 over in
September and then in November and
December we're probably looking at
either 50s or 25s TBD that so much
doesn't matter right now what really
matters is the following factors okay
this is what I want you to pay attention
to I don't want you to so much get
confused by Waller and Ballard planning
for a 75 basis point hike or Esther
George dissenting last time going for a
50 basis point hike that's that's not so
much really what matters right now here
is the exact list for the next three
months what you got to pay attention to
when it comes to the Federal Reserve
because remember they're often August
and they don't have a meeting in August
so we're not going to be seeing Jake
Powell talk to us for uh well at least
in the capacity of of standing in front
of the fomc Federal Open Market
Committee I'm sure he'll be having
plenty of wonderful interviews to talk
our Market to death between now and then
so he won't be gone but he won't be in
front of the fomc but in the meantime
what is it that we're looking for from
J-pop well folks number one is we want
his reaction to the Powell curve the
reason we want his reaction to this is
because if he says okay the market is
telling us we've done our job now it's
time to do the famous old U-turn that is
going to be a huge Buy Signal to markets
remember markets have bottom every
single time the Federal Reserve has
u-turned whether that was in 89 in 2003
in 2009 at the beginning of 2009 in 2018
in December or in March of 2020. all all
of these Market crashes bottomed when
the FED u-turned therefore if the Powell
curve is enough for Powell to finally go
okay yeah my curve is no longer going up
into the moon it's it's time to U-turn
because I want my curve to go back to
the Moon uh then then you know what if
he recognizes that that would be deemed
as bullish so we want to see some kind
of reaction to the power curve now
that's going to be dressed up so you're
gonna have to look for it because you're
going to hear them talk about the
difference between near-term rates and
Futures rates when you hear those words
near term rates Futures rates that is
power curve talk okay nobody's gonna
stand there at the fomcb and go so
Powell your curve looks like it's about
to invert any kind of talk about the
three-month near-term and medium-term
rates that's what you're going to look
forward to or even forward rates might
be another way to say it okay pow curve
pay specific attention to this very very
critical today number two we want to pay
attention to Jerome Powell's reaction to
GDP data well GDP data comes out
tomorrow which is July 28th which is
also the day the coupon code expires on
the programs I'm building your Wealth
live streams with me every day the
market is open when I'm in the office
and as much as I can when I'm traveling
which is very very difficult sometimes
but I plan not to be traveling much
anymore after this trip here but anyway
awesome continue to add a beautiful
fundamental analysis lectures whether
it's in real estate or stocks and
greater discussions with the community
there so make sure to check out those
programs cut that coupon expires the
same day as GDP data which is tomorrow
now why do we care about j-pal and GDP
data well the reason we care about j-pal
and GDP data is very simple because
Biden is trying to redefine what it
means to be in a recession he says no no
a recession is only called when the
National Economic Bureau research Bureau
whatever when these folks say it's a
recession the problem the problem is
those folks tend to take 4 to 14 months
after a recession to actually tell you
yeah damn I guess we were in a recession
so the markets are like we don't care
about these morons at all if we get two
quarters in a row of negative GDP we are
technically in a recession so take your
definition and shove it where the sun
don't shine and we're gonna be in a
recession stop trying to BSS why don't
you actually talk straight to us for
once oh right because you're a
politician anyway so GDP data comes out
on the 28th and obviously Jay Powell has
having his meeting on the 27th so we
want to get an understanding from Jay
Powell hey Jay Powell
really gotta know man
do you think if we get two quarters in a
row of negative GDP we're gonna be in
recession and he's gonna be like well
yeah you know the textbooks have uh
traditionally told us that uh that is
the definition of recession and uh
that's generally what we're inclined to
believe now I don't know why all of a
sudden I sound like George Bush but
whatever we want to know his definition
of GDP uh because that will also impact
his uh response to the power curve the
potential inversion of the power curve
next up number three
oh God
I'm coughing because this one's so full
of BS
we gotta understand
does Powell think that we're at Peak
uh Peak CP lie I mean CPI data so uh CPI
data thoroughly by the bond market is
being told to have hit Peak and that's
because a consumer inflation
expectations have peaked and are going
down inflation Expectations by the bond
market have peaked and are plummeting
they're at the lowest levels that we've
honestly seen in a year which is
remarkable commodity prices are falling
copper Industrial Metals like iron
falling nickel falling lithium
stabilizing uh wheat we've got some
drama here recently because of some
rockets that uh that came uh over to the
Ukraine after a wheat deal between
Russia and the Ukraine but we don't do
so much talk about this the point is if
Peak is behind us
and Jerome Powell admits that the peak
is potentially behind us
it could be very very Gucci for the
markets in fact uh let's just take a
look right here okay all right uh this
uh this right here is what the chart
looks like you can see we are literally
below where we were a year from now on
inflation breakevens and this chart
usually plummets three to four months
before the CP lie Falls uh and um yeah I
I personally would be planning for the
CP lie to be coming down uh and and I
kind of am so anyway uh this this is
important these are the three important
things that we gotta watch for for Mr J
Powell going forward whether it's at the
fomc meeting or thereafter along with
that coupon code folks we'll see in the
next one goodbye
