AGF's Valliere: The Fed has the tools to hold off recession
Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe
Categories:
Greg Valliere, chief U.S. policy strategist at AGF Investments, says that several interest rate hikes will not sour the economy now, so that if the Federal Reserve doesn't go too far on tightening, there's no reason for a recession. Valliere says that he does expect more recession concerns at the start of 2023, as the economy digests the protracted impact of not just rate hikes but inflation, waning economic stimulus and the offshoots of the war in Ukraine. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes a trending commodities fund -- sensitive to both the war and inflation -- his ETF of the Week, Catherine Collinson of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies discusses the savers credit and how a majority of Americans don't know that it exists, let alone how to claim it when filing their taxes, and Stephen Dodson of The Bretton Fund talks value investing in the Market Call.
