You know, the Fed can't really fine tune how the market's going to respond to anything it says.
The best it can do is just really say it like it is, say what it sees out there, you know, be as upfront with the markets and the public as it can be about what it thinks it can do and what it expects to do.
Otherwise, you're going to be in this endless cycle of constantly trying to fine tune your message in response to what the markets have done.
So I do worry a little bit that if in fact Powell is trying to calm the markets here, he's just storing up a problem for himself later this year.
No, we won't have that much time between press conferences.
On the other hand, if each press conference yields a market reaction as strong as this one or the last one that I think is storing up a fair bit of volatility for
for the markets for the coming year.
Always a pleasure.
Well, that's right.
I think that the U.S.
actions are fairly aggressive, and its demands are also fairly sweeping.
They want big changes to the way that China runs its economy, less subsidization of domestic enterprises, fewer restrictions on what foreign companies can do.
no pressure to transfer technology, etc., etc., etc.
It amounts to wholesale demand that China change its economic model.
And it's worth asking, and I think many are asking this, whether this is really intended to reach a negotiated settlement or simply to lay out demands that China cannot meet and set the stage for the two countries to basically disentangle the relationship that has built up between them over the last 15 years.
Well, that's right.
I mean, look to the two most relevant precedents.
The Cold War with the Soviet Union was strictly a strategic rivalry.
There wasn't really much in the way of economic ties between the United States and the Soviet Union.
So you didn't have this strategic stuff spilling over the trade sphere and vice versa.
