Monetary Policy Gone Wild: A Lost Generation of US Growth?
(Enterprising Investor)
The Fed could be setting the US economy up for a harder fall down the road by flooding markets with cash and spurring investors to prop up firms that are not fit to survive. The long-term risk posed to the economy is that the restructurings that were once emblematic of the creative destruction that fomented innovative new firms will make way for a generation of painful liquidations.
Fed Approves Shift on Inflation Goal, Ushering In Longer Era of Low Rates.
(Wall Street Journal)
The Federal Reserve approved a major shift in how it sets interest rates by dropping its longstanding practice of preemptively lifting them to head off higher inflation, a move likely to leave U.S. borrowing costs very low for a long time.
Small businesses expect longer, milder impact from pandemic.
(Axios)
More small firms say the pandemic will have a moderate negative impact on business than a large negative impact (45% vs. 34%) compared to the first week of the survey (39% vs. 51%).
Generalized consensus on the weaker dollar is that is is “overdone”.
(Bloomberg)
