A Vote of No Confidence! Are Markets Losing Faith in the Fed's Inflation Fight?

A Vote of No Confidence! Are the Markets Losing Faith in the Fed's Inflation Fight? Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and his minions are talking tough on inflation. But they haven't done anything. At the July Fed meeting, the central bank elected to hold rates steady for the sixth time, despite price inflation remaining persistently well above the stated 2 percent target. Based on the market reaction, investors are beginning to think the Fed is surrendering to inflation and will not raise rates again.  In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about the dichotomy between the Fed's words and its actions, explains why the markets are right to lack confidence in the Fed, and how a surrender to inflation will impact the precious metals markets.
