“It's all cleared. What happened in March was an overreaction,” says Joseph Wang, chief investment officer of Monetary Macros and author of Fed Guy, as banks announce earnings in the wake of the recent banking crisis. He points out that the U.S. has more than 4,000 banks nationwide and macro indicators signal the panic has been subsided. For instance, the emergency lending that the Fed provides to commercial banks fell in late March. He claims that the government will jump into action to navigate this ongoing chaos just like during the 2008 financial crisis. “Whenever something bad happens, they are going to be peppered over just like that, ” he says. He believes the Fed will keep hiking interest rates to contain inflation. “Because of inflation, there's a real fundamental regime change of how the Fed operates,” he explains, arguing that we are expected to see a 25 basis point hike in the next Fed meeting in early May. He concludes that in today's stagflation environment, investors will be better off investing in commodities such as oil and energy ➡️ Watch Here

Jason Hartman invites Joseph Wang aka The Fed Guy, to the show today. Who better to talk about the inner workings of the Federal Reserve than someone who actually worked there! Joseph Wang is a former senior trader on the open markets desk at the Federal Reserve and the author of Central Banking 101. Jason and Joseph tackle the biggest question on everyone's mind: will mortgage rates go higher? How much higher can they go? Why did the Fed wait so long to start quantitative tightening and raise rates? Why didn't they do it more gradually? Do you think Powell really thought inflation was transitory as he kept saying? It seems there was a political basis for him thinking that way, which filtered into policy and partially resulted in the huge inflation we're seeing right now. But what gives? If you don't raise rates in order to avoid increased unemployment, then inflation will continue. Joseph Wang also gives his take on the Fed's response during times of economic crisis such as the Great Recession and the recent pandemic. Was it right of the Fed to get involved and stimulate the economy, or should they have let the economy and markets work themselves out? Is the Fed part of a greater conspiracy? Is there a man behind the curtain pulling the strings? Joseph Wang tells all!

The Federal Reserve recently began shrinking its massive balance sheet, unwinding trillions of dollars worth of bond purchases that it started making during the depths effort to offset the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. It's not the first time that the Fed has undertaken 'quantitative tightening,' as the process is called. But this time around is different. The central bank is withdrawing stimulus at an unprecedented speed. The big question for markets now is what the impact of this liquidity withdrawal will actually be, and whether differences in the size and composition of the Fed's more recent market operations make this bout of 'QT' different to previous episodes. Joseph Wang is a former trader on the Federal Reserve's open markets desk and now blogs about the central bank as "Fed Guy." In this episode, he walks us through the mechanics of the central bank's big balance sheet unwind, explains how it might affect markets, and outlines all the uncertainties that still surround this huge operation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Joseph Wang goes by the moniker "Fed Guy". He's a former trader at the Fed and therefore knows more about its operations than anyone who's likely to be willing to talk on a radio show, especially anyone who's willing to talk critically of the Fed. We'll talk about what Joseph believes the Federal Open Market Committee members are thinking right now and what he thinks the most likely path for interest rates is. Also, we'll get nerdy such as talking about how raising interest rates is not the same as reducing the money supply, and what the Fed is doing to accomplish the latter.
Ladies and gentlemen we have an economy built on smoke and mirrors, built on a house of cards. Let's not forget that currency is lent into existence and today, Jason Hartman shares exactly how much outstanding credit the United States has. Also, house inventory levels are starting to move in an upward direction. We're still a far cry from normal market levels, but Jason gives you the latest numbers from Altos Research. Joseph Wang, aka The Fed Guy, former senior trader on the open markets desk at the Federal Reserve is back for part 2 of his interview today. Joseph gives his take on the Fed's response during times of economic crisis such as the Great Recession and the recent pandemic. Was it right of the Fed to get involved and stimulate the economy, or should they have let the economy and markets work themselves out?

The Federal Reserve's monetary tightening cycle is underway, with yesterday's 25-basis-point increase to the fed funds target range the first of what's now forecast to be a total of seven such moves in 2022. Chair Jerome Powell said during his post-Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting press conference that the Fed could finalize “quantitative tightening” plans as soon as the FOMC's May meeting. The Fed expects inflation to come in at 4.3% in 2022 before it falls to 2.7% in 2023 and 2.3% in 2024. Policymakers adjusted downward their 2022 growth forecast, from 4.0% to 2.8%. U.S. equity indexes have responded positively to the Fed's new hawkish stance. Market yields continue to climb, most notably the average 30-year mortgage rate. Volatility continues to be the primary characteristic of financial markets. Chinese stocks continued to rally on accommodative moves announced by government officials, but the nickel market remains an unsettled mess. The “Fed Guy,” Joseph Wang, a former trader on the central bank's open markets desk, joins Real Vision's Maggie Lake to discuss the Fed's decision, the means it will employ to combat inflation, its forecasts for both inflation and growth, and financial markets' response.

U.S. equity indexes soared on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting a near 800-point gain and the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite rising 1.86% and 0.92% two hours ahead of the close of regular trading. Equity futures indicated a positive open after Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled a willingness to negotiate with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy. Still, fighting rages in and around Kyiv, though it appears Putin's forces are not advancing as rapidly as their leader had hoped or planned. Joining Real Vision's Maggie Lake to discuss the geopolitical situation is Dee Smith, founder and CEO of Strategic Insight Group.

In this episode of Forward Guidance, Jack once again sits down with former senior Federal Reserve trader Joseph Wang, more commonly known by his moniker “Fed Guy.” In the interview, the two go deep into the leadership, policy, and future of the Federal Reserve, as well as look at how textbook concepts such as the Fed controlling inflation through the federal funds rate are outdated at best. Joseph takes his years of experience and impressive knowledge of modern financial systems to critique how central banks run the economies of today. Jack and Joseph question if the Fed is on the right path to end inflation and if the current regime even knows how to combat the problems of an economy overheated by fiscal stimulus.

The Federal Reserve has a lot on its plate at the moment. Not only are "transitory" inflation pressures proving to be more stubborn than expected, but unemployment remains relatively high even as the U.S. economy recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, there are also technical challenges that the central bank now faces as it gets closer to tapering its asset purchases. Finally, there's the possibility of an imminent U.S. debt crisis as Washington continues to wrangle over raising the limits on federal borrowing. On this episode, we speak with Joseph Wang, a.k.a "Fed Guy," to talk about all the difficulties facing the Fed right now. Wang is a former trader on the Fed's open market desk and has first-hand experience in how debt ceiling brinkmanship can affect money markets. He gives his thoughts on what would happen if there were a technical default, how we should be thinking about U.S. Treasuries right now, why crypto may have changed everything, plus insights into how the central bank actually makes its decisions.
