The Federal Reserve became ensnared in a “cognitive trap” that made the central bank believe inflation was fleeting, Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz SE chief economic adviser and ex-PIMCO CEO, said in a recent episode of “Influencers… Source link

It’s a trap! No, it’s not Admiral Ackbar, the alert, fish-headed alien from the original Star Wars movies, it’s Morgan Stanley’s chief investment officer Michael Wilson, who argued in an interview this week that the ongoing bear market rally in stocks is nothing more than a trap for investors. “The market always rallies once the Fed stops hiking until the recession begins,” Wilson told CNBC on Wednesday, adding that “it’s unlikely there’s going to be much of a gap this time… Source link

President Biden has good intentions on climate change. His plan to halve carbon emissions by 2030 is on the scale energy and climate experts say is necessary to prevent the worst damage a warming planet could cause.

That fits with his desire to make big changes that have at least some bipartisan support and can survive political turnover in Washington. Yet Biden now finds… Source link

(Bloomberg) — The U.S. went on a borrowing binge last year and the hangover could make it harder for the Federal Reserve to fight inflation without crashing the economy.
