Callie Cox of eToro joins the podcast to discuss her view that the Federal Reserve can engineer a 'soft landing' -- defeating inflation while not tipping the US economy into a recession.
Content Highlights- It's hard to see how the Fed will be able to combat inflation without breaking things in the economy, but this is the guest's view (3:00);
- This view is partly based on the job market (4:06);
- Inflation is the major risk to the 'soft landing' thesis. But there are encouraging signs (6:00);
- Still, there is a chance investors are underestimating the chances of higher interest rates from the Fed (8:08);
- Ultimately, investors are discounting the global economy's strength (9:21);
- Technology has been harder hit than other sectors of the economy, which may bring second-order effects especially locally. But nationally, initial jobless claims are still low (13:57);
- The US consumer has been a particular strong point. No reason for that to stop (15:53);
- Background on the guest (20:12);
- Views on cryptocurrency (24:48);
- The concept of decentralized finance, or DeFi: not just a fool's errand (26:43);
- Does the VIX still matter? Maybe, but there are better options to gauge volatility (31:14).
