Macroliquidity Pulls Back But Still Trending Up
by Lee Adler • • 0 Comments
Macroliquidity declined last week, but the trend is still positive, although at a much shallower angle than during the years when the Fed was doing QE. The recovery rally in stocks has been a direct result of Treasury paydowns, which was a temporary effect that will now be reversed as the debt ceiling has been…

The Fed’s BS (Balance Sheet) Returned To Normal Last Week, Sort of

Fed Minutes Are A Waste of Time
by Lee Adler • • 0 Comments
I will no longer comment on the bulk of the FOMC minutes. They focus on the Fed staff’s and FOMC members’ views of the economy and the markets. Why bother with that?

Forward guidance is therefore meaningless and so analyzing the propaganda about the Fed’s decision process is a waste of time.
