Q: Chairman Jerome Powell and other Fed 公式の/役人s are arguing that the price 増加するs are transitory and not an 指示,表示する物 that インフレーション will become a problem. What do you think?

A: I think we have a greater 危険 that this will be an 延長するd period of インフレーション rather than a transitory period. The Fed is 推定する/予想するing the 危険 to fade as the 政府 support 勝利,勝つd 負かす/撃墜する. But if 大統領 Joe Biden's 組織/基盤/下部構造 and family programs are passed, the Fed could be in trouble.

Q: The Fed says it has the 道具s to を取り引きする インフレーション.

A: They can always raise 率s. But they have also created an economy where the 期待s are that the Fed will keep 率s extraordinarily low for an extraordinarily long period.

___

Q: The Fed seems to be in a new 時代 where instead of 約束ing to 引き上げ(る) 率s pre-emptively to fight インフレーション, it is willing to wait longer to 押し進める 失業 負かす/撃墜する さらに先に and to let インフレーション run above its 2% 的 for a time.

A: We used to have the 説 that if the Fed waits until it sees the whites of the 注目する,もくろむs of インフレーション, it has waited too long. Now, we have a Fed that is willi ng to be 侵略(する)/超過(する) by インフレーション before it even starts 解雇する/砲火/射撃ing.

Q: Where are 消費者s most likely to notice higher prices?

A: Prices will be going up everywhere. I think you will see it in restaurants, in amusement parks, in move theaters. They are all going to be raising their prices. The cost of building a new home has gone up so much. It's not just 板材 but everything.

Q: Are there any 明確な/細部 警告を与えるs you would give to 投資家s?

A: The biggest 問題/発行する I see is, we don´t know what will happen to the economy once the 政府 support to 世帯s and 商売/仕事s stops. 投資家s should be asking that question 権利 now.
