Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
We’ll preface the Daily Business News on MHProNews comments and video that follows from CNBC by saying this. Who elected Jerome Powell to preside over the economy?
The answer, of course, is that the Trump Administration nominated Powell, and the Senate confirmed him in February 2018. But millions of Americans ought to question the outsized role the Federal Reserve plays in the U.S. economy.
To consider a contrarian viewpoint, for some time, one of the lonely voices critical of the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C. was Senator Rand Paul’s father, Congressman Ron Paul.
Starting at about 2:50 on this video, Dr. Paul speaks briefly about the Fed as “a thief.” We’ll use that to tease this big topic for another time.
Think about it. How free is free enterprise, if one word from an appointed bureaucrat can cost you money? Roughly a century of the federal reserve system is arguably enough of a mixed bag of often problematic results that merits another look, another time.
More Americans need to question the status quo. Why is something the way it is? How does it compare to the vision of the founders?
That said, let’s turn to some pull-quotes from left-of-center CNBC today.
Here’s the one word from Jerome Powell that has people raising their eyebrows
That one word? “Transitory.”
- Traders have been speculating that recent weaker inflation readings would concern the Federal Reserve so much that it would cut interest rates later this year. Powell knocked that idea, by explaining that the central bank still sees the weakness as the result of “transitory” factors, such as portfolio management services, lower apparel prices and airfares.
- Stocks were flattish before the Fed statement, and turned negative when Powell began to speak about inflation.
- “The market was pricing in this rate cut. They want a rate cut and this was basically Powell saying, ‘sorry but we’re not.’ You have gold down, the dollar rallying and Treasurys selling off,” said Peter Boockvar, of Bleakley Advisory Group
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized Fed policy, saying it was holding back the U.S. economy. He said the Fed should cut by one percentage point and restart a program of quantitative easing, a policy tool used during the financial crisis.
