Andreas Steno sits down with Jim Bianco, President of Bianco Research, to unpack the current state of financial markets and macroeconomic trends. Jim argues that the Fed is moving away from the chairman-dominated model, which means more dissents, less forward guidance, and much greater uncertainty heading into every meeting. They also discuss Kevin Warsh’s effort to reshape the Fed’s reaction function, why anonymous leaks could undermine that strategy, the risk of changing how inflation is measured, and why markets may now be paying more attention to inflation than payrolls.
