The Fed Says, “Let Me Squeeze Your Dollars…5 Basis Points at a Time”
The Fed Says, “Let Me Squeeze Your Dollars…5 Basis Points at a Time” I still maintain no one will mark June 16th, 2021 as the day the world changed.

Peter Schiff: It’s Game Over if the Markets Call the Fed’s Bluff The Federal Reserve insists inflation is “transitory” and the economy is making “progress.” Yet, it continues with the extraordinary monetary policy it launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Game Over
Game Over Game over. Occam’s Razor: The simplest explanation is often the best one. Central banks will never extract themselves. Whether they ultimately end QE is besides the point.
