PART 01: An early-1950s US consumer buying-binge sent the Consumer Price Index soaring. Inflation!? No. It was a transitory supply/demand imbalance brought on by (geo)political factors. The bond market knew it and didn't overreact. And what about the Federal Reserve? They overreacted.PART 02: We review the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 2000s and 2010s to study how bond yields reacted to persistent and pervasive monetary expansion, stagnation and contraction as well as how bond markets handled transitory consumer price shocks due to supply/demand imbalances.PART 03: What kind of foreign assets do you own PBOC?  Well, we are adding a lot of "other" right now.  "Other"?  Yes, "other".  What is that?  Don't worry about it.  What do you mean, 'Don't worry about it.'?  Just know that we're adding it, whatever it is - it's good.---------SPONSOR----------Macropiece Theater with Emil Kalinowski reading the latest essays, blog posts, speeches and excerpts from economics, geopolitics and more.
