The 1970s Inflation Pattern Is Repeating... And Nobody Wants to Say It
About this episode
The episode discusses the current inflation trends and their similarities to the 1970s economic situation.
Inflation is back at 4.2%, the Fed is suddenly looking less “patient” and more “are we doing this again?," mortgage rates are flirting with the wrong side of uncomfortable, and the bond market is basically standing in the corner whispering, “I told you so.” In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil break down the latest CPI print, why 7% mortgage rates may not be off the table, how today’s inflation setup is starting to rhyme a little too hard with the 1970s, and why the market is still partying like AI, SpaceX, and IPO hype can solve every macro problem. Spoiler: they cannot. Also, somehow, we get from Fed policy to stolen oil tankers, WWE nostalgia, ear holes, and anonymous bags of dicks.
