Fed Pivot Dreams Strike Again: The MUFG Global Markets Podcast

In today’s episode, MUFG Head of U.S. Macro Strategy George Goncalves provides us with an update on how markets got back to dreaming of Fed pivots again after such a terrible performance in September. He also walks us through some of his main themes in the latest Macro2Markets Monthly called: A sea of doom (loops) as FCI tightens further. George remains skeptical of what could be another bear market rally in the making and attributes the recent price action to positioning and sentiment having gotten too bearish-leaning. That said, George does not believe there is an imminent Fed reversal and that the Fed needs financial conditions to tighten even further in order to clamp down on aggregate demand and contain inflation into the new year. It’s also interesting to hear how George defined the criteria for what he dubs the end of the bond bull run, but that said, it doesn’t mean the start of the bear market in bonds is ahead either.
