Powell To The People

 Fed Chairman Jerome Powell did the right thing and poured cold water all over markets, affirming a tight US monetary policy until inflation goes back to around 2%.  Kudos, and good for the average working American who is seeing his/her disposable income evaporate under the highest inflation in 40 years.

Back in Europe, Mrs. Lagarde is immobile like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck.  Only, the truck (soaring inflation) has already hit her, so it’s  probably better to remove her and replace her with a real central banker of acknowledged status.

Super Mario (Draghi) is once again available 😄
