Will the Fed Tighten Soon So It Can Ease Even More Later?
@DariusDale42 joined @FerroTV, @lisaabramowicz1, and @annmarie to discuss why the Fed may tighten financial conditions in the near term to create scope for much easier policy later, and why any meaningful pullback in risk assets should be viewed as a buying opportunity within the 42 Macro Paradigm C bull market.
@carm1nee This 2023 Druckenmiller interview by PTJ needs an update, as several forecasts therein have not come to pass (current S&P at 7400 vs his 4500 stagnation prediction, for example).
That said, Stan is the GOAT, in my opinion.
@Hedgeye The swaps are repaid ratably from November 2026 through September 2028. Earlier return structures have lower premiums.

@Hedgeye The release is with swaps rather than outright sales. Companies borrow SPR crude now & pay it back + a premium in more barrels later. This is explicitly designed to grow the reserve by at least 200 million barrels “at no cost to the taxpayer” These are not “draws.” They’re loans.
@TopTradersLive@investingidiocy Respectfully disagree:
Transition from U.S. Treasuries as THE reserve assets globally to Gold. Trigger: US confiscation of Russian assets after Ukraine invasion.
China’s closed system & debt dynamics push the Gold demand further.
@TimDuy@Convertbond We already hollowed out our manufacturing base and sent it to China. You can’t pull that deflationary trick twice to get back to 2%.
Updated chart of our 1-variable stock market. This is how markets behave during exogenous shocks - stocks need oil to peak. Aftermath eco forecasts rarely matter. Same thing happened last year, but with trade uncertainty. Need something to the same effect as the April Trump “pause” 🤓
WTI Oil vs SP500 Future Inverted.
@DariusDale42@federalreserve@francesdonald Following the law of supply & demand, I have to point at least one finger at mass immigration. Of course, this follows the export of factory jobs to China & the rest of the world over decades.
S&P 500
Second straight year that the market enters Q4 with Strategists year end targets below the market's current level.
Can't believe we are set up for another year-end chase...
