Episode notes
Tariffs and Inflation
- Tariffs primarily create a one-time inflation hike, unlike the persistent inflation the Fed is concerned about.
- This one-time effect means the Fed might overlook tariffs' inflationary impact.
Recession and Fed Response
- Recessionary indicators might actually be bullish for the market.
- The Fed has room to cut rates and implement QE, mitigating recession's negative impact.
Dollar Strength as Indicator
- Dollar strength is a crucial indicator to watch in the current macro environment.
- Falling dollar strength preceded the 2017 bull run, and similar conditions could lead to another rally.
