- Lindsey Piegza, Stifel chief economist, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the Fed's decision to hold rates steady, Fed Chair Powell's comments on the lack of progress on fighting inflation, whether a rate hike will be needed at some point this year, and more.
No pain, no gain. Powell has to man up and raise rates.
lol he doesn’t want to raise rates. You guys still don’t get it don’t you?
Raise rates for what? The only remaining inflation is based on GOVT SPENDING. Most companies besides maybe AI / Tech are in full blown declines. Raising rates will only hurt low to middle incomes where as the wealthy are spending even more making 5% + off of savings that use to earn zero. Fed can't do anything at this point but hope Biden gets kicked out and stay where they are. Folks are clueless how the economy really works....
@@Fear.of.the.Dark. He definitely doesn't want to, but the only way to fix this will be to pop the debt bubble. The fact that inflation ticked up while GDP growth slowed to 1.6% should be sending alarm bells through the economy. Unfortunately, they have every incentive to try to print away the debt and send us into an inflationary spiral.
@@marcuscook5145 again he doesn't want to fix inflation. They clearly don't care for it. It is all hogwash. They are reducing QT from June onwards now with all the recent inflation prints. Why? Because they are dovish at heart and yes they will rather devalue dollar and debase the US federal debt. That is all part of their plan and they are exactly executing their plan openly.
@@marcuscook5145 The 1.6% GDP is inflation-adjusted, btw, so nominal GDP would be (inflation * 101.6%)
Now everyone is betting inflation will be sticky it’ll probably plummet 😂
Lindsey is right on. If the FED really wanted to bring down inflation to their target they should have increased rates months ago. Powell and the rest are hoping and betting that inflation will go down further. If their track record is any indication, they will or already have screw things up. The markets are leading the FED. Period.
how will raising rates reduce housing inflation? when most people have mortgage around 3%
🎯🎯🎯 the FED is ruled by Wall Street. Got to keep the charade that stocks are going to the moon forever.
@@sanchitsingh9699 artificially low rates caused the problem
remember transitory ?
She doesn't mention cutting federal spending as a factor to reduce inflation.
Sure didn't.
Are you aware that tax cut giveaways to the rich (Bush, Trump) and ruinous foreign wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine) have the same effect as increasing federal spending on social programs?
@@illegalsmirf Yes but those are things the Masters want, so its all good!
Powell and Fed pumps 1/2 trillion $ into banking system before collapse
That horse already left the barn long ago...
Becky smartest in the room. Rate hike would be smart. And why worry, if it works problem solved if it breaks you switch course right now were barely stagnant possibly still inflationary
so the folks that destroyed the value of our money now must take us to the mat. more please!
There’s unspent stimulus and the infrastructure spending hasn’t even started. Of course inflation is not going to go down
Than you Sir, may I have another.
Sell in May and go away.
The FOMC has succeed in reducing consumer spending on the working and middle classes. Good luck reducing spending on the top 20%. Overall, it is unlikely to happen.
Don't forget it not inflation it price gauging. Look at the avg fast food franchise. Making a profit of 5 million a yr in profit and still raising price while cutting workers pay.
Not considering the rights these companies do not have their legal representations may be difficult get what do they have to prove as an example leaving it up to the distributors makes law more incontempt its not all established in growing technology
it is transitory like powell said we don't have stagflation
rates should be over 10 percent ... but since they keep monetizing debt it still will continue to get worse
Other routine patterns of analytics through technology and positions proposed to government officials that don't govern of ideas but the routines and how to successfully in a jurisdiction these bar graphs are embarrassing and do not entertain me but useful for examples the terminology are all of significant to software developers these shows on public broadcasting like cspan and waiting cspan for admitting these circumstances publications and discriminated processes
I mean it's bad for the technology to create a false alias name with little establishment of policy and law
Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.
If they continue this your going to see a lot more homeless people even from white collar America
The consumer is certainly slowed. problem is you put the rich people spending in with the rest of the country which skews numbers
What you didn't make a business today. Your u tube deal fell through. 😅
I'm waiting for the Biden speech that says people we have a problem😅
That will not happen, until after the US election
Inflation casues by insurance premium, borrowing costs, house living costs are doing the job for the fed, cutting disposal income by 30%, and worrying the supply of commodity which further doing the job for the fed to curtial spending.
