Gareth Soloway: Bond Markets are Calling Powell’s Bluff

Tom welcomes back Gareth Soloway, President, CEO & Chief Market Strategist for InTheMoneyStocks. Gareth addresses the uncertainty in the market and how everything is moving inversely to the dollar. The Fed is being aggressive, and they may back off once inflation improves, but recession fears build. He shows how the USD/Yen is indicating the possibility of a dollar pullback. The dollar has been dominating the Euro, but Natural Gas is showing a price drop over the past few days. It's possible the gas situation with Russia isn't as bad as many expect. The Fear seems to have subsided over the weekend, and we are seeing a reversal. The dollar has pushed too hard too fast and therefore is likely to reverse for a while. Bonds aren't reflecting the concern that the Fed has been expressing. The smart money is betting the hikes won't be as big and is calling the Powell's bluff. Gareth hopes the Fed will only hike another 50 basis points. He hopes they are being careful and are focused on the inflation numbers. A recession seems likely even if the Fed moves more dovish. A recession will be the cause of the next leg down in the markets. Downside targets are the pre-covid highs in the markets. An even lower retest is quite possible. How does the economy get out of recession once it begins. We could have all out panic in the markets. Gold has been performing quite well this year, especially compared to other currencies and markets. Gold is only down four percent despite the dollar being up over 15 percent. This is very bullish for gold. When the dollar really starts to drop, gold will take off. Metals are the safest place to be, particularly gold. Silver is also at a great level right now, perhaps near a major bottom with excellent technical support. Miners have been hit hard due to inflation and their input costs. Should inflation come down and the Fed pivots, then miners will outperform. We're on the precipice of a global recession. Longer-term, Russia and OPEC may have miscalculated, as Europe will try to become energy independent. Bitcoin investors have to keep in mind that this bear market isn't being backed by Fed printing. It's important to monitor your emotion and consider where everyone is at on trades. The same patterns repeat over and over in markets.
