0:00

wow this was a doish Powell Jerome

0:03

Powell literally just flipped in this

0:07

video I'm going to give you a bare bull

0:10

scale update from Kevin I'm going to

0:11

tell you what Jerome Powell said in

0:14

reverse order uh and I'm going to give

0:16

you my opinion which I haven't heard

0:19

anybody else talk about yet which is

0:22

either a sign that nobody else is paying

0:24

attention to it or it's a sign that your

0:27

boy Kevin is just a dumb idiot and it's

0:29

just totally wrong in this video I'll

0:32

give you everything that's on my mind

0:34

and I'll let you make the decision so

0:37

let's get started Jackson Hole Drome

0:40

Powell starts by saying Kevin's got a

0:43

flash sale today over at meetkevin.com

0:45

in honor of Jackson Hole and the prices

0:47

go up tonight got any questions email us

0:49

at staff meetkevin.com otherwise check

0:51

it out and make sure you get in before

0:52

11:59 p.m. we finally figured out how to

0:54

make the computer automatically kill the

0:57

price increase right at 11:59 p.m. so

0:59

check get out of me

1:01

kevin.com with that said Jerome Bell

1:03

truly did say uh the task is not

1:06

complete and we do not seek a further

1:08

welcoming or a further cooling H in

1:11

labor markets so we do not seek or

1:14

welcome a further Cooling in labor

1:15

markets this is actually really

1:18

important this line in my opinion was

1:20

critical because on one hand I've been

1:23

screaming on the channel That I think

1:25

the FED is going too slowly that if they

1:28

keep moving this slowly and gradually

1:31

and methodically they're going to cause

1:33

an unemployment recession and that is

1:36

going to be different than the recession

1:37

we expected at the beginning of 22 where

1:39

at the beginning of 22 we expected a

1:41

recession where people would have excess

1:43

savings and they'd have their jobs and

1:45

it would sort of be like a shallow okay

1:47

yeah year-over-year growth is slower and

1:50

you'd have a recession really what we

1:52

ended up what we would end up getting if

1:54

we had a recession now would be a

1:55

jobless recession where companies start

1:57

laying off more because they're trying

1:59

to increase margins capex spending slows

2:03

then layoffs occur as hiring stalls then

2:07

you get consumer spending slow down and

2:09

then the data shows up in unemployment

2:12

unfortunately I've been concerned that

2:13

if jpow waits for the data to show up in

2:16

unemployment it'd be too late and we'd

2:18

be KNE deep in a recession so this line

2:22

from Jerome Powell that already at this

2:24

point we quote do not seek or welcome

2:28

further Cooling in labor markets is is

2:30

actually good but there's a balance to

2:34

this because on one hand I'm like oh I

2:37

literally wrote down I I may have even

2:39

said it on the video when he said that

2:40

I'm like oh that's good this is I think

2:42

I just wrote it down this is bullish

2:44

jpow is paying attention to the labor

2:47

market the way he should this is a good

2:49

thing but then I started to thinking to

2:51

myself wait a minute how bad is it bro

2:56

what do you know that that you're not

2:59

saying here now I understand that that

3:02

would be very very jaded to assume that

3:05

JP's starting to go oh God we've gone

3:08

way too far but let's listen to what El

3:11

Drome Powell said and see if maybe

3:14

there's another clue as to JP saying oh

3:17

we've gone too far let's see Drome

3:21

Powell tells a story about how he and

3:24

other economists and Central bankers and

3:26

analysts were on ship transitory and

3:29

that it was a very crowded ship and he

3:33

basically makes the case that being on

3:36

ship transitory was the right move it

3:40

just took longer than expected the

3:42

journey was longer okay what is he

3:45

trying to say with that analogy he

3:47

trying to tell you hey look we expected

3:50

inflation to come up and come back down

3:52

and then once it was gone we're done by

3:56

him using this analogy is basically

3:58

trying to say we were right it just took

4:00

a little longer inflation went up now

4:02

it's down we're not worried about

4:04

inflation anymore now we got to fix the

4:06

labor market we just screwed

4:08

up that's my implication from this again

4:11

your opinion may be very different and

4:12

that's okay that's the beauty about

4:14

finances we can have different opinions

4:16

so then he says we will do everything we

4:18

can to support the labor market the time

4:20

has come for policy to adjust and there

4:22

is ample room to respond to risks okay

4:25

this is really interesting because he's

4:28

basically saying inflation's not a

4:29

problem anymore we're now serious about

4:31

the labor market I actually don't think

4:34

the FED is balanced anymore like in the

4:37

last fomc meeting the fed's like yeah

4:39

we've gone from inflation as a priority

4:41

and the labor Market's okay I think

4:44

we've actually gone you know in the last

4:45

meeting we went to okay they're both

4:47

balanced I think now we've gone to Bro

4:50

inflation's over which I agree with mind

4:52

you I completely agree inflation is over

4:55

there's not going to be a second wave

4:56

this is my opinion talk about that in

4:58

many other videos Supply chains have

5:00

expanded so much that it's going to be

5:02

very difficult even with stimulative

5:05

spending for us to see a second wave of

5:07

inflation my opinion again yours could

5:10

be very different okay so if inflation

5:12

is dead the way JP is saying and now

5:15

he's basically more in favor of oh man

5:19

we may have gone too far we may start

5:20

causing some real damage to the labor

5:22

market here and this is why he's coming

5:25

across so dovish then we have to ask

5:28

ourselves okay so how do we internalize

5:30

this does this is this a good thing that

5:32

he's being doish yes it is a good thing

5:35

because if he came out today and said

5:37

we're going to go slow and gradual uh

5:40

you know we're not convinced inflation

5:42

is dead well then we'll almost certainly

5:44

be in a recession so this speech is

5:47

definitely more bullish than bearish but

5:50

now it kind of like his his the rapidity

5:54

rapidness is that a word I don't know

5:56

the the rapidness of him going from you

5:59

know we're not done yet with inflation

6:01

to inflation's transitory and oh my God

6:05

we need to save the labor market that

6:08

flip makes me go man I mean this is this

6:11

is good that now you're paying attention

6:13

to the labor market but now you got me a

6:14

little concerned as to how concerned you

6:16

are about the labor market because I've

6:17

already been freaking out about the

6:18

labor market and now you're freaking out

6:21

and so I'm like are we already in a

6:24

recession I'll update the be bull scale

6:26

in just a moment but but these are I

6:29

don't know the answer here I think

6:31

really data will help us obviously you

6:33

know we got to be where's the word where

6:35

is it it's somewhere over here we got to

6:36

be uh data

6:39

dependent uh and and we do have data

6:42

sets coming out here soon you know we've

6:44

uh we've got jolts coming out on 94 job

6:47

openings and labor turnover survey the

6:49

ADP private unemployment report uh will

6:52

come out uh on 95 September 5th uh and

6:55

then we'll have non-farm payrolls on

6:57

September 6th and my dad's birthday on

6:59

September 10th okay so let's keep

7:03

listening to what he said so in addition

7:06

to this he says we've made a great deal

7:08

of conf progress and my confidence on

7:10

inflation has grown the upside to

7:12

inflation has diminished and the

7:14

downside to the risk of employment have

7:17

increased so I actually wrote next to

7:19

that I'm like how

7:22

badly like how badly have the risk to

7:24

employment increased anyway so labor

7:27

market is unmistakably cooling says

7:29

Powell the timing and pace of cuts will

7:31

depend on the data uh I wrote this is

7:33

surprisingly bullish on the labor market

7:36

unlikely the labor market will be a

7:38

source of further inflationary pressure

7:40

we already knew that he's already told

7:41

us for a while that there's no wage

7:43

price spiral and we're not really

7:45

concerned about wage gains in fact you

7:47

know some wage gains are consistent with

7:49

falling inflation so that's fine he

7:51

referenced 2023 as an example of that in

7:53

the second half when inflation was

7:55

plummeting and wages were actually

7:56

Rising uh then he says sometimes it can

7:59

be a good idea to look through inflation

8:03

as transitory and so he sort of goes

8:05

back into history and says like it's

8:07

kind of normal the problem this time was

8:10

that Supply chains didn't recover as

8:11

fast as we thought they would because of

8:13

the co shutdowns he does think we're on

8:15

a sustainable path path to 2% and then

8:18

he ended the meeting and we're like okay

8:20

that was like a 15minute speech or maybe

8:23

even slightly less and we're like we

8:25

didn't really close the door to 50 basis

8:28

points there so what happened is the

8:30

market uh has actually started pricing

8:33

in a little bit more of a chance of 50

8:35

basis points if I look right now when we

8:37

started before the meeting we were at

8:39

about

8:40

1.25 Cuts priced in for September now

8:43

we're at

8:44

1.32 priced in so the Market's pricing

8:47

in a little bit more in terms of rate

8:48

Cuts we're pricing in a full five rate

8:50

Cuts now for January so he's kind of

8:53

actually left the door wide open to 50

8:56

here which again is is good in my

8:59

opinion this is what he should be doing

9:02

but then I also wonder how quickly he

9:05

urned makes me just scratch my head and

9:07

go it wait is I mean this is what you

9:10

should be doing but bro is is this worse

9:12

than uh than you're leading out here you

9:15

know what's going on back there you know

9:17

I feel like I'm getting a report from

9:19

the engine room of the Titanic and uh

9:22

you know 20 minutes ago it was we're

9:25

fine we got it all under control and

9:27

then 10 minutes ago it was you know it's

9:30

a little worse than we thought but we

9:32

got it and then like 2 minutes ago it's

9:35

like yeah man we got some problems you

9:39

know I don't know man that's that's a

9:41

little bit like I'm I'm getting whipsaw

9:43

here by the flip-flopping from the FED I

9:46

mean again two meetings ago inflation

9:49

still not at Target one meeting ago it's

9:52

the risks are balanced today it's there

9:55

ain't no more inflation risk man the J

9:57

Market going to

10:01

which I mean we already knew

10:03

that oh okay anyway so then he says you

10:07

know the direction of travel is clear

10:08

meeting ends left the door open to 50

10:11

basis points no talk about Peak rates

10:13

they're not going to raise rates anymore

10:14

no talk about a soft Landing uh there's

10:17

no question this is dovish now I'm just

10:19

wondering like why is it so dovish Nick

10:21

T says the Powell pivot is complete uh

10:24

and so where am I on a bare bull scale

10:27

um you know I I I'm up a little

10:30

but this is uh not much not as much as

10:32

you might think I saw some of y'all

10:34

guessing you're like oh Kevin's going to

10:35

be a seven and a half you know where

10:37

bullish Max bullishness with margin is

10:39

10 some people like ah no Kevin's going

10:41

to be a five or a six I'm going from 29

10:45

to 3 three okay so because

10:48

a this is what he should be doing this

10:51

is good yes Powell yes this is what you

10:55

should be doing but the rapidity of flip

11:01

here just has me like minimizing my

11:05

bullishness

11:06

going it is it really that bad

11:10

bro so we'll find out as we get more

11:13

data I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm

11:15

a little freaked out okay so uh I don't

11:18

know I don't know I guess the data will

11:20

tell I will tell you what I think what I

11:23

think will be a winner no matter what

11:26

12:54

one goodbye good luck oh and I think I

12:55

forgot to say what this is probably and

12:57

very likely no guant is bullish for

13:00

yields going down the fact that jpow is

13:03

now flipping like this is a sign to me

13:05

that yields are going to fall a lot

13:07

faster than we expected which is what

13:08

I've been talking about for weeks in

13:10

fact if you've seen the positioning that

13:11

I've been exposing myself to for either

13:13

soft Landing or jobless recession uh it

13:16

it's been I mean I've got multi I've got

13:18

two over seven figure individually

13:21

trades going on two big sectors one of

13:24

them has a lot to do with rates uh and

13:27

uh one of them is also similar ilar to

13:29

that but I think does well in even a

13:31

jobless recession that sounds crazy but

13:33

anyway we've been talking about those

13:35

two we've been paying attention I I've

13:38

saying I think rates are going to come

13:39

down a lot faster than people think and

13:41

JW's flipflop here is reiterating

13:44

exactly that now the question is just

13:47

dang how bad is that for companies that

13:49

are expecting growth because if he's

13:51

worried about the labor recession growth

13:53

companies are going to get whacked so be

13:56

careful these things that you told us

13:58

here I feel like nobody else knows about

14:00

this we'll we'll try a little

14:01
