      Massive error

      Albert Edwards with a rather aggressive tone: "I believe the Fed is sowing the seeds of yet another policy disaster. Having let the inflation cat out of the ‘transitory’ bag, it now seems determined to regain its credibility by driving CPI inflation all the way back down to its 2% target. This has led to a huge divergence between goods and services inflation. This policy error is the mirror image of the mistake the Fed made after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the very mistake it was castigated for by former Fed Chair, Paul Volker, back in 2018."

      Golden volatility

      As we pointed out last week (here): chase gold via relatively "muted" gold upside calls. Volatilities remain rather attractive should gold break out to the upside.
