Noticias Económicas y Financieras ¿Qué tan grande puede llegar a ser Big Tech antes de que Big Tech pueda arruinarse? Dígalo diez veces rápido. Trabalenguas, trabalenguas de mercado e incluso trabalenguas legales están envolviendo a la industria tecnológica de alto vuelo, lo que ha ayudado a impulsar las acciones a máximos históricos en 2024, hasta ayer. El Nasdaq (COMP:IND) se desplomó un 3.4% durante un colapso del mercado mundial, que coincidió con los disparos antimonopolio contra un peso pesado del sector tecnológico. El colapso del mercado visto ayer no se está volviendo menos volátil, y las cosas ahora se están moviendo en la dirección opuesta. El Nikkei de Japón terminó la sesión con un alza del 10% durante la noche, marcando su mejor sesión desde 2008, luego de una caída del 13% el lunes. Se dice que gran parte de la volatilidad emanó de Japón, donde una operación de carry basada en el yen se agrió cuando el BOJ subió las tasas durante la misma semana en que la Fed señaló su intención de recortarlas. En Estados Unidos, los futuros de los índices bursátiles están rebotando esta mañana después de que el indicador de volatilidad VIX se disparara a máximos de la era de la pandemia. Cabe señalar que hubo algunos ganadores del S&P 500 durante la caída de ayer, que también vio a la curva de rendimiento desinvertirse por primera vez en más de dos años. En un intento de tranquilizar a los inversores, los funcionarios de la Reserva Federal intervinieron en el momento en que el caos del mercado se convirtió en el centro de atención. La presidenta de la Fed de San Francisco, Mary Daly, dijo que la política monetaria está claramente "funcionando de la manera prevista" y que todavía es demasiado pronto para determinar si existe una debilidad real en el mercado laboral. Los datos de empleo del viernes no indican una recesión, agregó el presidente de la Fed de Chicago, Austan Goolsbee. "No deberíamos reaccionar a una sola cifra y siempre deberíamos mirar hacia el futuro", explicó, señalando que todavía no hay recesión a pesar de que la curva de rendimiento lleva dos años invertida. El cofundador de OpenAI, John Schulman, dejará la empresa para unirse a Anthropic, respaldada por Amazon $AMZN, que ha desarrollado Claude, rival de ChatGPT. "Esta decisión surge de mi deseo de profundizar mi enfoque en la alineación de la IA y comenzar un nuevo capítulo de mi carrera en el que pueda volver al trabajo técnico práctico", declaró. La salida de Schulman se produce menos de tres meses después de que OpenAI, respaldada por Microsoft $MSFT, disolviera su equipo de Superalignment, cuyos líderes abandonaron la empresa (uno de ellos se unió a Anthropic). Solo tres de los 11 cofundadores de OpenAI permanecen en la empresa, uno de los cuales se tomará un año sabático hasta fin de año.

On yesterday's show I speculated on some of the reasons why the Fed might have pivoted. These reasons all sounded pretty plausible. Then I listened to an interview with Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, who was on the Fed's rate-setting committee this year. He spoke with the WSJ's Take On the Week podcast host to discuss why “all things are on the table” when it comes to interest rates, including potential rate hikes, and why he thinks there is still a risk of recession. Plus: what's keeping him up at night, and why he says it may be time for the Fed to shift its focus from inflation to the slowing U.S. labor market. Naturally, Austan Goolsbee was careful not to make any predictions. But he did provide some meaningful insights as to why the change of heart at the Fed. He was asked about the spectrum of opinions across the members of the Fed. While all of the FOMC board members and all of the regional bank presidents have a voice at the table,  not all members have a vote. There is a rotating voting structure where each board member serves a term on the rate setting committee.  In retrospect, I totally missed what was an obvious reason for the change.  The Fed is well known for relying on the so-called Phillips curve as one of the core financial models when it comes to understanding the economy.

Can a soft landing be achieved? This is still a wide open question, given the highly uncertain macro environment. On the one hand, you have had a continued deceleration is most US inflation measures and the unemployment rate is below 4%. On the other hand, there are concerns over re-acceleration, more inflation, and a bond market where yields seem to be screaming higher day after day. On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, we speak with Austan Goolsbee, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, who sees the possibility of, in his words, a "golden path" -- or the "mother of all soft landings." We discuss why and how it can be achieved, what the Fed can do to deliver a positive outcome, and what the market is telling us about the work that still needs to be done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
