Have to agree. While the value of the dollar goes lower, people in worse economies being payed worse currency will suffer 2-3x more than Americans as the result of these rate hikes. Just look at Europe. They printed endlessly for so long they're currency lost 3x it's value in a year alone... More pain expected in 3rd world countries and economies with way less stability than the western world...

You're forgetting the fact that the president has the complete right to hire and fire Federal Reserve Chairmen. In a way, the will of the President is executed through the chairmen. Of course I don't think Biden cares at all about the stock market and is more concerned with increasing wage gains and increasing jobs.

Inflation is certainly something the FED can fight and beat. But how much damage can be done to the market is another matter altogether... 50 BPS to show biden is commited to fighting to inflation, 25 BPS to show he's trying to be a centralist. Either way though, 50 bps seems locked in to me...
