Fed minutes indicate worries over the lack of progress on inflation

CNBC's Steve Liesman, Lido's Ken Stern, and Wolfe Research's Stephanie Roth join 'Power Lunch' to discuss their takeaways from today's Fed minutes.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

Inflation has a greater impact on people's cost of living than a crashing stock or housing market, resulting in an immediate and tangible effect. This explains the current high level of negative market sentiment, and our need for assistance in surviving this challenging economy.

Although I have interests in global economics I don't watch the news anymore... I have enough FUD lol. Thanks for this news and offering your insight on how to navigate during unfortunate times/events like this. You're right about keeping level headed when investing so that's why I think it's important to limit the amount of FUD we consume. I don't watch the media but the news that you present has enough to know issues going on without riding the emotional rollercoaster if I were to watch the news everyday. Now I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 16 btc from day trading with Kerrie Farrell in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish....

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300, 000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

Investors are extremely alarmed by the impending recession and the Fed's rhetoric of raising interest rates. My $600, 000 stock portfolio has lost 25% of it’s value. Whats the best way to hedge my portfolio to make profit in this coming recession

[salomonquijada]

Real inflation faced by businesses and consumers is above 5%

[brasscatcherproductions]

Maybe if we stop printing trillions for other countries…

[chatgpt-nr]

The Fed juicing the market for 15 years is why the market is up not

[JL-fxcd]

Its sad (pathetic actually) that nobody has the cajones to say the obvious out loud. Inflation is an absolute direct result of corporate greed. Talk about the excessive profit taking by American corporations.. its greed plain and simple.

[David-ftl]

As a business owner i know i always have to increase my prices because government is either printing money or do something to raise the prices.
i’m not sure how math works if we are let’s at 3% and want to go to 2% not also grow at the same time 😂
Decent and rise (growth) does go together

[fsquared]

Interesting that the stock market is up about 40% since the fed started raising rates in 11/2022. Maybe if they cut rates stocks can go up 100% or more in a year. Another interesting fact is that the S an P is trading at 21x assumed forward earnings and the US ten year treasury note is trading at 22x guaranteed forward earnings(interest payments). But that wont be mentioned on CNBC.

[Tradernotahater]

Obvious market manipulation. Why bring up headlines that are old? Could it be that the publications putting out the information want the market to move down?

[gainer]

Charging Up 6 % Wed .. Fisker... FSRN. CEO planned speaker at 2 conferences in June. Increase in dealerships and deliveries along with new US Tariffs. Blade...Blink... Archer... Rivian and more.

[kennethwylie]

Ken Stern is also ignoring the massive layoffs, increased business bankruptcy rates, highest individual debts in decades, lowest saving rates, and the ridiculous costs of food now. There's nothing to celebrate here.

[craigcolbourn]

Copper just hit an all time high, which is a 6 months indicator for inflation. 😂

[melissamarlatt]

Old news. next reports are gonna come in soft

[thNebula]

An irony is that the cause of the inflation now and since 2021 was the massive increase in the money supply in 2020 combined with Trump's handling of the economy during the covid crisis that, due to shutting down the economy, caused a massive reduction in supply of goods. That resulted in a basic supply and demand situation where demand dramatically outstripped supply. Supply has normalized now but the resultant price increases have stayed and will not return to 2019 levels without corresponding massive reduction in the money supply causing deflation. That would distort the who thing even worse. The only way out of this is to realize that prices are where they are and they won't be going down. The increases in prices have been normalized but the high prices are hear to stay. Bottom line, all of this inflation was due to Trump seriously mishandling the economy in 2020.

Inflation should be coming down we had the inflation reduction act you mean that green energy bill didn't bring the inflation down 👇 let's go Brandon

This Report Is Not A New Given U. S. 🇺🇸 Forwards As It Has Been. As Long As The T-Note 10 Year Sone where 4.5%, The Market And U. S 🇺🇸 Economy Will Continue To Achieve Its Future. If You Take Movement To Look At The Last 15 Months Within Markets, Inflation Prices, And U.S. 🇺🇸 Economy Strengths, It Has Been A Better. The Only Issue Here Is That Too Many Countries Now Keep Printing Their Money. Where Are We Going From Here: Let The Market Takes Care Itself As Future Is Ahead . Sincerely❤️❤️❤️, KNT.
