Market Commentary:
Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
In this 1-page commentary on inflation, federal funds, and the banking industry, Mill Creek’s analysis experts give their take on the current crises and high degree of uncertainty plaguing the banking sector.
Excerpt:
“The question at hand is, will a cutback in bank lending be enough to tame inflation without additional rate hikes? At the FOMC’s press conference, Powell emphasized that tighter credit conditions act as a ‘substitute’ for rate hikes, and it will take time to assess how significantly the effects flow through to the economy. The situation remains fluid and we expect monetary policy will adjust accordingly, but with inflation still well above the 2% annual target, Powell’s job just got much harder.”

Market Commentary:
The Increasing Likelihood of Unlikely Events
Regarding the current state of the economy and future events that Mill Creek specializes in attempting to predict, unlikely events are becoming more and more likely, and Mill Creek wants to make sure everyone is prepared for what happens.
Excerpt:
“Going forward, we should expect more of these “unlikely events” as market participants and policymakers negotiate competing priorities. An environment of high GDP growth, high inflation, and bank failures is without historical precedent and there are seemingly few easy paths remaining for the Fed. They will likely choose between persistent inflation, recession, or a combination of both — and at this point, they are trying to sort out the least painful option.”
