In light of today’s spate of bad economic news, the Street’s guessing game is that the Fed will cut the disoount rate
as much as three-quarter percent at its March 18 meeting or even sooner.
If that’s true, the Fed is clearly saying “we don’t give a damn about inflation,” or else, “we don’t have a fricking clue how to control inflation.”
In either case, a rate
cuthack like that is guaranteed to fuel inflation. Even with a recession, I predict oil prices will hit $115/bbl and gold $1,000/ounce by Memorial Day.
