The Fed Calls for More Rate Hikes (1/19/23)

(1/19/23) The Fed Whisperer says there are more rate hikes coming, despite the weight of inflation on markets & the economy. Retail Sales in December were off more than 1% (and 70% of the economy is consumer-driven). Stil to come will be the recessionary effect on earnings, as well as the lag effect of rate hikes. Debt Ceiling Deadline: There will be no default; the Crypto crunch; meanwhile, the same Fed rhetoric: More Rate Hikes to come. When will the Fed stall, and for how long, before the "pivot?" Where to invest as the Fed continues? The Value of the US Dollar: A weaker dollar is better for Commodity purchases; bonds and stocks are pricing-in a Goldilocks environment; stocks vs ETF's? The issue of volatility is what hampers Crypto-currency; the Yen and Yuan swing +/- 2% in one day! Gold vs Dollar theories.
