Bad news for stocks: Fed will be surprised how hard rate hikes hit economy, says BlackRock
MarketWatch ^ | September 6, 2022 | William Watts

Hate to say bad news coming, but um ..... there's bad news coming.

Federal Reserve policy makers are about to surprise themselves — and not in a good way when it comes to stocks and other assets perceived as risky, according to analysts at BlackRock Investment Institute.

BlackRock has argued that investors are dealing with a “regime shift” as the COVID-19 pandemic upended an unusual period of mild volatility in output and inflation, heralding a more volatile market environment that carries echoes of the early 1980s. That’s an environment in which record debt levels mean small changes in interest rates will have an outsize impact on governments, households and companies, the research arm of the world’s largest asset manager has argued.

“Central bankers at the recent Jackson Hole forum started to recognize this reality. But we think they’re not prioritizing economic implications over pressure to curb inflation,” the analysts said in a Tuesday note, referring to the late August monetary policy symposium held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The question is will BlackRock continue using its agents to offer cash on your property sight unseen?

I say yes, but at reduced amounts.

BlackRock is 100% correct on this.

We are in a weak economy with inflation being driven by scarcity and government maniufactured destructive economic distortions in labor, energy and raw materials.

The politicized psychopaths at the Fed are using the old tools to fight the wrong war on inflation. They are trying to cool down what they perceive as a hot economy, but in reality they are puling the rug out from under a fragile and brittle economy with businesses reeling from trying to recover from the government manufactured covid crisis, the government manufactured labor crisis, the government manufactured energy crisis, the government manufactured supply chain crisis and the rest of government manufactured rolling disasters such as the 1920 and 1930s Soviet style radical forced adoption of a unfeasible Green Economy

It’s not just the US Federal Reserve that is completely clueless and crazy, it’s Central Banks all over Western World.

In the UK and EU, the plan that is emerging to deal with skyrocketing utility bills is to cap what individuals and businesses have to pay, the caps will still be significantly above what people were paying in the past.

For example, if a private citizen’s bills are capped at $250 GBP, but the cost to the utility company to produce the electricity is $500 GBP, the $250 GBP difference will be paid by the government, same goes for businesses.

The cost of doing that is going to be in the 100s of billions if not trillions, it will completely wreck their currencies, I can’t see how this type of plan could continue for more than a couple months.

Yeah, I missed that one. A big oversight as trillions of dollars of borrowed money are driving and subsidizing the economic dysfunctionality in the system

All of that. So true.

And each Federal Reserve “fix” for the prior government caused problem leads to ever wilder swings in the economy.

Political forces prevent the Fed from allowing the natural economic forces to fully play out, which would correct the problem in a free market. Instead, there is the political panic to “do something”, the something being to inevitably paper over the problem with a “fix” which will blow up down the road.

BlackRock is not your friend.

They are an incredibly powerful financial force.

They do not pretend to act in the in interest of anyone except themselves.

I was on a conference call with a BlackRock employee, which was arranged by my stock broker. I was NOT IMPRESSED at all.

I see what they are doing to rural Texas housing prices and it reflects back upon property taxes.

One of my homes (at our farm) which has been vacant for 8 years and has been in gutted state inside for most of that time in the kitchen and 2 bathrooms; suddenly saw a 57% increase in appraisal value. Yes, BlackRock is affecting things inside Texas. I do not blame people for fleeing big cities and oppressive state, but I hate the collateral effect. It will not last forever.

I’ve spent the past 3 months with the help of 2 contractors working on the home, so I can move there to stop the thieves from stealing our equipment. We have had 14 break-in’s at our shops over the past 7 years. They hit the house 2 times. It is 4 miles from town on a busy shighway. The only way it stops, is when I am living there. Which I hope to be there within another month.

Reactive whack-a-mole games, rather than anticipatory guidance. Hallmark of bad management.

p.s. FJB policy is the mole.

Most all will miss it.

The farcical “Inflation Reduction Act” is a massive series of payoffs to uniparty cronies. I am dead serious what I just wrote is 100% true and is backed by several persons I admire who know how Wall St works.

The IFA is to settle the corporate interests that matter, settle them as to what’s coming, so they are assured to survive while the world goes to Hell.

Doesn’t have to be severe if Republicans can enact pro-growth tax and deregulation policies — as they did during the beginning of the Reagan presidency. First step — ditch the green agenda.

Getting inflation back to target ‘means crushing demand with a recession’

Um, demand isn't the problem here.

Blackrock is to real estate/investing what Gates is to farmland. Too much power consolidated by groups that want to do us harm.
