Absent deep/protracted recession, based on Chairman Warsh's guarantee "we will get back to the target rate by 2028", this proves mathematically/historically improbable. CPI would need to avg -.12% M/M over forward 18-mnth period, which has never happened before. Only 2 recessions had deflation.
It really isn't debatable. The Fed chairman's chief role is to keep inflation expectations well-anchored. The markets response to Warsh's 1st press conference was to ratchet up inflation expectations by 3bps (chart 1 and 2, 5 days apart). Definition of misstep? @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

I have written before and will defend throughout: Economically benefiting from the fear of black swans is far more profitable, and far more reliable, than trying to predict what will make the crowd panic next. The latter is nearly impossible. The former is closest to structural.
$IGV extends from bullish pattern highlighted over the last several weeks. Has remained above key 87–88 resistance zone, which had repeatedly capped rallies since Feb. Need to see continued buy interest. 104-upside target remains in play. Continued constructive digestion above the breakout zone $SPY
