As many much smarter ‘guys’ than me (and smarter women, too) are reviewing the last year; and struggling with Forecasts for 2019, at this time, there has been a lot of discussion about Fed Policy on rates and their impact.
Bloomberg had a recent interview with the legendary hedge fund and financial advisor, Stanley Druckenmiller, who was reviewing the last ten year era; and he was critical, then, (2009); and now, (2019) regarding rates and the liquidity implications of the unwinding of QE policies.
We think some useful language, is to characterize ‘asset bubbles’ or the asset inflation that these policies may have created as a real thing. Actually, many are referring to this period as the ‘Bernanke-Yellen Asset Inflation’ period.
