WOW | Market Tank, Jerome Powell goes DOVISH [Full Fed Explanation]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well drone Powell just canceled
stagflation canceled the recession and
cancelled really any potential of raate
hikes that was the biggest fear that we
had that after a quarter of hotter than
expected inflation data of hotter ECI
data hotter ADP payrolls numbers we
actually got jpow going nah Moon baby
how' he do that how' he do he basically
Unwound some of the most hawkish
expectations we could have had for the
fan he Unwound the fear that we would
actually have higher rates instead his
paths forward are either we stay or we
lower and he gave us a few paths he
actually gave us paths he said there are
three paths more persistent inflation
hold off on rate Cuts greater confidence
in inflation cut unexpected weakening in
the labor market cut but what about
these wage gains I mean wage gains That
Could set off a wage price spiral right
I mean if we have wage gains that all of
a sudden are too excessive we're going
to be back at a wage price spiral right
that would be bad Jerome Powell's take
we're not worried about it we want
people to make more money in fact last
year we saw wage gains that were
elevated and inflation collapsed and we
expect the same thing will happen this
year wow this is way more doish than
expected now the first sign that we were
going to get a doish drone pow today was
that we were expecting to go from $60
billion of Treasury runoffs down to 30
instead we got it go all the way down to
25 that extra five bill was your heads
up from JP that this was going to be a
doish meeting at the beginning of the
meeting I said okay I'm now flipping 60
doish 40% hawkish because of solely
because of that a flip and then
throughout the meeting we got more and
more doish in fact he even addressed our
inflation expectations concern quite
frankly jpow if you're not a course
member yet we'll extend the coupon for
another few hours for you we got McKay
an email will let you come in because
clearly you're you're reading off our
bingo card okay you did a great job you
address basically everything we've been
bitching about on the channel it was
really impressive I mean quite frankly
there was a point it was almost as if he
was reading our bingo card he addressed
both of uh the second half of inflation
should be lower on our bingo card and in
the same box we're talking about the lag
effect of real estate coming eventually
and explaining why there's this lag and
split effected real estate he almost
write it off for bettim so thank you JP
for being a supporter and a subscriber
we love you okay but let's uh in in
seriousness uh you know jpw addressed
three really important things number one
inflation expectations he finally
addressed look inflation expectations
moved up at the beginning of the year
the uh 5-year Break Even level moved up
from January all the way through about
last week we went straight up on
inflation expectations and what did we
end up getting we got Jerome Powell
saying in recent D inflation expectation
uh inflation expectation data sets have
come up on in the shortterm but the
long-term remains well anchored so he
washed the short-term concern
then what about the fact that GDP came
in at 1.6% in q1 well as we expected he
would on our bingo card in fact we wrote
that down as well we wrote down on our
Bingo cart that he would split out uh on
I'll show you the bingo card here uh
that he would split out GDP that some
parts like exports and inventories were
weak but GDP was overall strong almost
read that off verbatim how because he
told us while GDP growth moderated to 1
. 6% in q1 private domestic final
purchases complicated phrase there
excludes exports and inventory buildup
and that level came in at
3.1% which to them sends a clear signal
that the economy is still actually very
strong so washed the inflation
expectation concern washed the rate hike
concern washed the wage price spiral
concern washed the stagflation GDP
concern washed if I didn't say the rate
high concern and then of course we have
the real estate concern like oh but but
you know owner's equivalent rent is
still high yeah it's taking longer to
come down that makes sense Market rents
he says are flat we've seen that in
housing as well Market rents are either
flat to slightly down in most markets
across the country the difference is
people who are already in can't really
realize a lower rent until they move you
know when you move you get Market rent
when you stay in you might be locked in
higher until you actually move move
because sometimes there's a low chance
your landlord's actually going to lower
the rent right so this entire meeting
was Jerome Powell washing fears about
the economy he says uh you know says
look it's going to take longer than
previously expected to lower rates
remains committed to 2% the labor
Market's been softening somewhat but
nothing that's extremely concerning at
this point feels like a normalization in
fact when looking at surveys so leading
indicators of employment he thinks we're
back at prepandemic levels not
substantially weaker uh he says
obviously committed to the current
stance uh clearly you know didn't want
to delve into when rate Cuts will begin
or how many we would get not a surprise
but again the washing of these bearish
factors in the economy was extremely
doish now some people are saying oh it's
doish that maybe he realizes something's
wrong that something's coming but quite
frankly he tried addressing that too
that he doesn't actually see large
damage in the labor market right now
because if he did we would be cutting
rates right now even in the face of
inflation around 3% they'd be cutting to
preserve the labor market uh when it
comes to stagflation he says I was
around for stagflation stagflation then
was 10% unemployment slow growth High
single digit
inflation uh and he says I just don't
see where that is coming from today he
says I don't see the dag or the flation

house.com that'll serve as a perspective
right and a solicitation so let's keep
going we've got uh Market implied
interest rate Cuts right now let's
understand some of the movement in what
we're getting in the market we started
this meeting with
1.18% expect sorry 1.18 rate Cuts
expected for the year we ended with 1 uh
37 38 rate Cuts expected for the year so
we actually increased the level of rate
Cuts we expect for this year we saw gold
move up about 1.28% we saw oil drop 3%
we saw 10year treasury yields drop 6.2
basis points and we saw all indices the
Russell the nas the S&P and the down all
up 1 to 2% after this meeting when
beforehand a lot of them were down as
much as half perc like the NASDAQ so
this was clearly a very optimistic
meeting now going through our a bingo
card just to make sure we've got all of
our bases covered here this was our
bingo card we got Bingo across the board
we got the purple High maintain the 2%
Target weakening in jobs could lead to a
sooner cut have not gained greater
confidence yet and he did address that
at least longer term inflation
expectations are well anchored he got
very angry about somebody implying that
politics won't affect us in fact I
tweeted 911 I'd like to report a murder
uh for how aggressively he responded uh
he says we still have a goal of cutting
rates uh sorry he didn't say that he
still has a goal of cutting rates this
year that is something that he said
previously so we did not get that uh we
got the uh split in Immigration jobs
data we got uh split on GDP Jal was on
time we did end the meeting more doish
than where we started didn't get uh too
much detail on why they went for that
extra $5 billion so we didn't get that
didn't get a repeat of question uh we
did get a Nick T sitting next to the New
York Times Blondie uh somebody in the
chat's like she's a valid dictorian I
went to high school with her I'm like
dang uh but anyway stagflation and then
he ended up I wrote stagflation
described stagflation literally did uh
the lag effect of real estate or the
second half of the year should be lower
inflation we got all that got data
dependent and uh basically we got we
believe we're at Peak and he didn't say
specifically that word but that's I mean
he must have made that clear 17
different times it was very clear he's
very opposed to raising rates he's
sending an extremely clear signal here
that yes sta dependent it's going to
take more time optimistic that the
second half of the year's inflation is
going to come down lower so what does
this now put pressure on well this now
puts pressure
on May 15th now what is May 15th could
May 15th be an opportunity for you to
get life insurance in as little as 5
minutes link down below metkevin.com
lifee could it be your chance to sign up
for streamyard which is how I
multistream metkevin.com streamyard
check them out both paid Partners could
it be the expiring coupon code or the
deadline to invest in house no it's the
next CPI report see the next CPI report
just got a lot of pressure
because drum Powell is basically like
look the economy's fine inflation's
going to come down things are good yes
it hasn't come down as fast as we' like
but we think it's coming he got rid of
so many bearish concerns again the wage
price spiral the
stagflation the uh real estate lag he
got rid of a lot of concerns of hiking
these are huge removals of pain from the
economy all of that was really removed
and what he did is he put the onus on
let's just see what happens in the
second half of the year and get these
inflation reports next April inflation
report is obviously May 15th I don't
actually think we have uh reports for
that yet we do think that wage growth
could continue to push up because of
things like what are happening in
California where you're raising minimum
wages as aggressively or the
aggressiveness that you're seeing in
wage gains from unions but quite frankly
there was nothing extremely bearish in
this in fact there wasn't really
anything even slightly bearish I mean
the fact that we're not going to get
rate Cuts in the first half of these
year that is not a surprise it's not a
surprise we're probably waiting until
September to December uh and the fact
that we didn't get punched in the face
here we didn't get JPB is quite frankly
neutral to in my opinion very d uh
dovish which is bullish for risk assets
that's obviously of course why we've
seen uh Bitcoin move up during the
meeting but I'll tell you there's
something about the lines folks there's
something about the lines these lines
are magnetic and so you have a lot of
speculation on that doish going in
during the meeting ran from about 575
all the way to about
594 but look at that drop right back
down to the line and so if you want to
study those lines make sure you're part
of the stocks and site course while I
was live somebody joined the course is
wait we we're going to change the
pricing in a few hours there were just
too many emails um and um what is it
yeah somebody joined the course and the
name they signed up with is
djt like oh man they must be in a djt
stock that's shout out to them whoever
they are uh so there you go that is a
full summary of what's going on with Jal
I have to say this is probably the best
version of jpow you could get uh you
know purple tie on time very
straightforward uh aggressively
passionate about how strong the economy
is now could they be wrong yes but he
the fact that we don't have to so much
worry about wage gains the fact that he
unhelmed that and he addressed Our
concern about inflation expectations I
see that is reasonable bullish and uh
thank you so shout out to jpow he he he
did a he had a very good meeting here so

that you told us here I feel like nobody
else knows about this we'll we'll try a
little advertising and see how it goes
