(5/4/23) The Fed hikes rates...again...and markets pull back; tighter bank lending standards are defacto constraints on the economy. The burning questions are, 'is the Fed done,' and 'when will the Fed cut rates?' Jerome Powell's word salad results in more market volatility; Jobs numbers and CPI will factor into to market moves next week. Instead of rate cuts, sticky inflation could actually result in more rate increases. Jerome Powell is forecasting a "mild" recession (The Most Forecast recession in history). Regional bank issues are creating a transition from FOMO to FOMOB; inflation data does not support rate cuts. Bank deposit outflows are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy for regional banks, but their real problem is in real estate loans: Where will the opportunities be for investors? Banking is a "con-game," a game of confidence. Wait fo the FDIC to bail out banks, then cherry-pick the remains. Where will the Fed draw the line between winner- and loser-banks?
