Why do some investors believe the”war on inflation” has been won? Is it due to the falling commodity prices 23%?

“hope” for a pause is not a strategy in our opinion.

It appears investors are “wishing for a Pivot” trying to talk rate hikes down and throwing out bad scenarios to the media that is needed to curb inflation. Talking their book.

Former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson says the “hope” is premature.

1A) The money supply grew rapidly in Q-2 of 2020 and beyond up to 66%.

Now the money supply is falling 4%. With rate hikes, is this enough to slow Inflation?

Can the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes work without a “hard landing”?
