⚡️🇺🇸☢️🗣Inflation has turned out to be more resilient than the FOMC expected when they released their latest forecast in March.
The rate should be high for longer than expected, which increases the likelihood of a hard landing and recession.
In other words, "sticky" inflation requires more destruction of demand, which increases the risk of lower corporate earnings.

⚡️🇺🇸☢️🗣Excessive savings of households are exhausting - approx. 1.2 trillion. dollars left.
It is precisely because of the spending of these excess savings that consumer spending on services such as airline tickets, hotels, restaurants, etc., remains high.
Someone was sitting at home during pandemic, working, saving money (or rather, he could not spend it), and now he is breaking away, and someone was unemployed, wasting savings and stimulus checks.
Expenditure of excess savings gives somewhere between 700-800 billion dollars of final demand per year. Last check shows that the US GDP was $25 trillion. dollars.
That is, these excess spending, it seems, forms about 3% of GDP. If excess savings run out by the end of the year and 3% of final demand goes away, then this in itself, without any financial crises, will lead to a recession.

Historical Patterns: The VIX Is Ready for a Sharp Reversal
The VIX volatility index has fallen to its lowest level in more than three years.
The VIX fell about 19% last week, the biggest drop this year.
✅Thus, after the VIX fell more than 34% below its 200-DMA . Such a significant divergence usually means a bottom.
The story goes: after dropping below or above the 200-day moving average by more than 30%, then over the course of 20 trading days, the VIX averaged a 17% jump. More importantly, the index was higher after 20 days in 42 out of 44 cases, if the deviation from the 200-day was at least 30 percentage points.

⚡️☢️🇺🇸-🔊Fed Easing Cycle To Start Multi-Year Dollar Bearish Trend END THIS YEAR - ING
Weaker dollar could lead to lower U.S. rate exports around the world
◾️Our basic view in the currency markets is that the dollar will enter a cyclical bear trend in the coming months.
◾️The prerequisite for this is tightening of credit conditions in the US, which will complement the tightening of monetary policy and lead to the long-awaited disinflation in the US.
◾️If the Fed is able to sharply cut rates later this year, we are convinced that the dollar will trade lower. In this scenario, in our opinion, the EUR/USD pair should be somewhere around 1.15+ by the end of the year, and the USD/JPY pair should be below 130.
◾️The weakening of the US dollar should be a positive factor for global growth. Many countries, especially those with emerging markets, are forced to support local currencies with higher rates.
A reversal in the dollar's broad trend should give them some breathing room and possibly attract more portfolio positives to emerging markets than have been seen since the end of 2020.
