😟Why the Fed Won’t Be Happy Until You Earn Less Money

Good morning. The pandemic shutdown and reopening created a massive opportunity for wage growth... It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. The pandemic shutdown and reopening created a massive opportunity for wage growth in the United States as millions switched jobs.

That’s the view of at least one Fed official – Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari. As long as wage growth continues strong, he argues, the central bank won’t be able to win the war against inflation. In other words, to stop inflation, America’s workers have to stop being so darn better off. Either way, this is another sign that the Fed is looking to keep interest rates higher for longer. And that should continue to weigh on market valuations… so keep looking for trades that can profit in a flat or declining environment.
