Episode notes
Fed Cuts Won't Ensure Lower Long Rates
- A Fed rate cut is likely but may not lower long‑term rates, which depend on government borrowing needs.
- Grandich warns short‑rate cuts won't help mortgages or long‑duration debt if long rates stay elevated.
Why Long Rates Matter More For Households
- Long rates determine mortgage and long‑term borrowing costs, so higher long yields harm households more than short‑term Fed moves.
- He stresses financing deficits will push long rates depending on global demand for US debt.
How The 'Whiz Kid' Nickname Began
- Grandich recounts forecasting the 1987 crash and receiving the 'Wall Street whiz kid' nickname after TV interviews.
- He used that moniker to build his reputation over the next decades.
