Powell will hike rates to 10%, but he doesn't know it yet.
Why?
Because this is a trial and error process.
Volcker didn't know either that he would be raising rates to 20%.
1/
Volcker was faced with one problem and one problem only:
PRODUCTION
DC and Volcker LEARNED by trial and error process over Time and Space that they had to hike rates to 20% in order to expand PRODUCTION.
2/
Same thing now.
DC and Powell are having one problem and one problem only:
PRODUCTION
And they are learning via Trial and Error in Time and Space that the first and foremost thing to do is HIKE RATES.
Powell/DC will keep hiking rates until PRODUCTION stabilizes.
3/
Conclusion:
10% - 20% rates are inevitably coming during the next 3-5 years from Powell/DC in order to attract and expand PRODUCTION into Allies Territory, or as it is currently known as Friend Shoring.
I remember speaking with DC insiders in 2015-2018, asking them about concern on supply chains.
Their reply was: NONE. They trust the Bankers.
2/
Things have changed.
Pentagon openly is saying they were wrong on trusting finance, they were wrong on disregarding supply chains, and the only that matters now according to pentagon is
I am saying that the world is trying to replace USD with BARTER.
This is self evident. They are declaring it, everybody is declaring it.
1/
Am I saying that they will succeed at the very end?
NO, THEY WILL FAIL.
What I am saying that SAYING AND TRYING is more than enough to break supply chains, which is happening.
2/
Seeing that the world is shifting from SAYING TO TRYING, Washington DC now has woken up to the fact that supply chains are breaking down, because they own supply chain has already broken down.
DC functions via Consensus.
DC functions via Consensus.
DC functions via Consensus.
Let me repeat:
DC functions via Consensus.
1/
Jerome Powell does absolutely NOT make any unilateral decisions about Interest Rates.
Powell EXECUTES the Consensus.
Powell EXECUTES the Consensus.
Powell EXECUTES the Consensus.
2/
The only people that destroyed the Consensus were Barack Obama and Donald Trump, the worst presidents in US history, spearheading the current decline of USA and the breakdown of supply chains.
Now we are back to normal.
Powell has access to true data, and is raising rates.
