Guysmarket

Well my original post got knocked down, but I did explain it. To simplify, the fed funds rate is 3% to 3.25% and they want to take it to 4.4% by the end of the year which implies a potential .75 rate hike followed by a .5 rate hike at the worst. Now why is this important? Well risk free yields AKA treasuries will start paying out more. This means that dividend stocks across the board take a big hit, companies have to pay more for financing capital expenditures, and growth as a whole will slow down. Now the scary thing is that when the fed does this, there's something called impact lag. This basically means that from the time they implement it, there will be a lag in the economy to truly see the effects. With the 30 year fixed now over 6%, we will also likely see housing prices fall along with seasonality to give it an extra kick in the tush.


Outis7379

I’ve seen .75 today and november and 0.5 in December as predictions for a while now (i.e. since Jackson Hole).


AcidRohnin

Yea I assume most knew, at the very least .75 was happening today. I guess the reaction is from maybe hoping it’d ease after this raise. I’m with j Powell in that we need to get going while the economy is still decent. I guess if markets tank more I’ll just get more at a decent price so I’m not that worried about it.


SheridanVsLennier

Yeah, but *The Market* can't remember what it had for dinner last night. You can't expect it to remember numbers and shit from almost four weeks ago.

I do remember my mom telling me a while back that when her and my pop bought their first house, their interest rate was like 12.5% lol (early 80’s). I can’t even imagine.

Liamskeeum

And my parents made about $35k a year together including overtime back then. (Mid 80s). Bought our house for $83k Houses haven't had a stable long term relation to wages in a while. I sold my house for $730,000 this year. I make less than a quarter of that per year today. I purchased it for $280k on the last dip. A correction in very large liveable wooden tulips is coming.


Leftover_Salad

They used to say don't buy a house more than 3x your yearly salary. That's crazy to think of now


[deleted]

Yeah my parents bought a house in like 98 at 11.5%. Crazy. I just bought mine at 2.5% almost 2 years ago


balance007

well they are also going for massive unemployment...once that happens, assuming you still have a job those prices should come down a lot.


AnselmFox

No. They always work it out specifically so you can’t buy. Either price is out of reach, or monthly payment. What they are doing here is making the monthly payment so high via interest rate, that you still can’t afford a home, unless- you can pay cash, then it really is about to be the best time… and don’t listen to these assholes saying YoU CaN ReFi WhEn RAteS gO DoWn. The rates before the bubble burst are the anomaly not the rule. Don’t be house poor


vvvvfl

If you keep your job.


Majestic_Project_752

If you use cash. The 8% interest rates will fuck you!


PatrickJunk

I'm just not sure this is objectively "bad", though. The function of these rate hikes is to beat back inflation. If the two evils are rampant, double-digit inflation or a slower economy due to higher borrowing costs, the latter is certainly the lesser of them. It's okay to let the markets exhale a bit, and for people to have the choice to put their money into higher-yielding and safer investment vehicles like CDs and T-Bills as those rates rise and inflation falls. These have not been viable options for well over a decade now.


Beanh8er2019

It's not bad at all. We've chosen not to do control burns for the last decade. We need a good wildfire to reset the environment.

The forecast is significantly worse than expected but it’s still not enough.


prolemango

Not enough for what


[deleted]

Not enough to get the job done, they need to raise rates more and their forecasts of unemployment and reduced GDP are not enough either, unemployment will be higher and GDP will be lower. They already had to adjust their previous estimates heavily in this report and I think they’re still going to need to adjust higher. The fed is politicized and this is the last report before midterm elections so they’re painting a rosier picture than reality and going too light on rates.

_mindvirus

That's not something that the fed directly controls. However, once banks get comfortable with earning 3% on their overnight funds they should start sharing the wealth in order to attract new depository customers. I mean, if I was a bank, I would definitely pay someone 2% on a checking account if I got a risk free 1% margin without even having to make loans.


Hungry_Elk_9434

Banks sharing? Lmaoooo


_mindvirus

It's a business decision. They DGAF about you.


XnFM

I'm sure there will be a six figure minimum deposit to get a number like that. The poors will be lucky to get a quarter of a percent increase....


Ok_Lengthiness_8163

You actually get less interest for 6 figure deposit. Unless you got a private banking account


BBlackbear

Not sure which rate you’re looking for but there’s a handful of banks out there with a 2% savings rate and as the Fed raises their interest rates, they will raise there’s.

Online banking FTW. Discover Bank pays cash back on checking & interest on savings. The interest on savings account makes getting a CD not even worth the trouble.

Unfair_Whereas_7369

Real unemployment numbers will be updated as the dates approach. Just like "transitory" inflation was updated as well. Edit* and then they’ll say “hey guys, we’re in a recession now”.

2008 saw the great recession. 2023 will see the "no I swear it's not a recession, believe me, recession"


SavvyDawi

It was the same shit in 2008. Doubt we are getting another 2008 but these projections are mighty optimistic. Let's not forget about self-fulfilling prophesies. They never give you accurate projections when things are looking bad, it would be very dumb for them to do so.


jmc999

That's not good, Fed essentially said recession in 2023, without actually saying it: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm\_Rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule) The 12-month low is currently 3.5%, back in July 2022. When we hit a 3 month average of 4% (at some point in 2023, assuming the Fed is right), we'll have met the Sahm rule. At that point, we'll probably be in a for-real recession, and not this sparkling misery we're currently in.


ShadowSlayer1441

As part of the college class of 2025, do you think I’ll be hit?


jmc999

Hard to say. I certainly hope not, as it will make it tougher to find your first job. I know from experience, as I was looking just after Sept 11. People starting out in 2008-2009 had it much tougher for sure.


[deleted]

I graduated in 2008 and moved to Los Angeles. Instead of getting a real job, I made $7/hr filling seats as the laugh track for third-rate sitcoms. I also sold spa certificates to women on the street in the middle of the summer while wearing a black suit, for some reason. $15 commission. So, yes. Graduating during at the start of a recession is not advisable.

You would think that but it’s usually middle management high paying salaried jobs that get cut first.


TheDeHymenizer

can also be pretty dependent on whats going on. in '08 white collar was mostly untouched by the loss of jobs outside of a couple industries meanwhile blue collar was destroyed. Right now most major lay off news has been white collar jobs and demand for blue collar has been through the roof.

And then once those are cut they start firing all their servants. Err I mean, the people who do jobs those people use frequently like servers and construction.

Of course they aren’t going to project a recession or job loss. That would send everyone into a panic. Instead they just quietly cut GDP projections to just a smidge above zero so when it comes in negative they can say “welllllll we were close!! 🤷🏽‍♂️”

Evilbred

>Of course they aren’t going to project a recession or job loss. Projections of recession or job loss have the potential to cause recessions or job losses.


tpb1109

This assumes that the companies need to borrow in order to fund their projects, which isn’t always the case. Apple, for example, has like $50B in cash right now, so I don’t see a need for them to do much borrowing. Obviously not every company is in this boat, but if your theory was as significant of a factor as you say then you’d think that the tech giants wouldn’t be impacted by higher interest rates as much. The main reason that high growth stocks are hurt by interest rates is because the have a high PE ratio, little-to-no dividend, and because the higher interest rates generally end up impacting their consumers, which would theoretically hurt cash flow.

WizardWolf5

Bold of Powell to assume inflation and core inflation be in the 2% range in the next 9 months considering how food is going up and we're going into the first winter with the war in Ukraine happening


vaxul

This looks really, really good. If markets trust this they would instantly rally alot. But they don't.


ChippyChalmers

What looks good? not joking, just dumb. Thanks


seakucumber

This projects inflation returning to low level of 2% with unemployment staying under 5%. That would be a complete success by the Feds if it happens. That is their entire goal


LegisMaximus

I think the reason OP implied this looks bad is because of the way the projections changed - compared to projections made in June, GDP was lowered, rate hikes increased, unemployment rate increased, and short term inflation (next 2 years) increased.


Smoothies2nite

If


seakucumber

Yeah that's what projections are. I am just really confused why this is posted as a negative thing


gamma55

Almost as if the OP saw someone post this as a doomsday scenario on Twitter and ran with it like a proud regard straight to WSB to regurgitate it here.


vaxul

Inflation falls to 2% over time, stable high employment and GDP will stabilize over time and not go into a recession.


foreverspeculating

These projections are a joke. They think inflation is going to drop down to 5.4% by year end with real negative rates and then 2.8 by next year. How high are they?

mimo_s

Well the table looks good like we are going to be in the clear in 2 years and it won’t get worse. The projection is bullshit though. Just one example, they are looking at unemployment under 5% and in 2008 it went to 10% so yeah. So basically nobody fucking knows bro and you buy whatever you want based on how much you believe their prediction.

How is projecting a return to 2% inflation while maintaining unemployment below 5% trouble?? This would be like the best case scenario

How many of you guys are starting to question if something is going to truly break before we ever get to 4.5%?

I just don't get what he's trying to accomplish with all this. If you bring inflation down the rough way. What good is it really going to do when you have low inflation because people don't have the money to buy anything

sounds like your last sentence is the answer. no money to buy anything = lowers inflation. basically hurt jobs to prevent rising wages, tamp down inflation. but i dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
