Economic Update October 2022 - Richard Duncan 💣

Описание: Creditism In Crisis - Macro Watch Preview

Another set of very bad Inflation numbers was released on Thursday. The headline CPI index was up 8.2% from one year ago, little changed from the month before. Worse still, the Core Consumer Price Index rose to a new 40-year high of 6.6%.

These bad inflation numbers strongly suggest that the Fed is going to continue hiking interest rates very aggressively, with another 75-basis point increase in the Federal Funds Rate likely to be announced on November 2nd. That would take the Effective Federal Funds Rate up to 3.83%.

In this environment, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Fed increases the Federal Funds Rate above 5% by the second quarter of next year.

Rapidly rising interest rates may be leading to a Crisis In Creditism.

The new Macro Watch video begins with a quick overview of what Creditism is and why the current surge in Inflation threatens to bring about a terrible economic crash.

It then takes a detailed look at the latest trends in Credit Growth by sector.

It shows that total Credit Growth adjusted for inflation contracted by 1.7% during the second quarter compared with one year earlier. This was the third contraction in as many quarters.

Given that the US economy requires at least 2% annual credit growth adjusted for inflation to remain out of Recession and given that the outlook for Credit Growth during the quarters ahead is also likely to remain very weak, this analysis strongly suggests that the United States will soon be headed into a severe economic slump.
