This is a worthwhile discussion. Lots of food for thought.
You can make the argument that Fed policy was the largest single driver sending financial asset prices every higher over the past 10 years. You can also make the case that the horrible performance of both stocks AND bonds this year are due, as well, to the Fed reversing its easing policy, and embarking on a tightening regime. All, mind you, to combat raging inflation, which can also be argued the Fed is primarily liable for. And with the Fed now hiking rates and kicking on Quantitative Tightening, right as GDP started shrinking in Q1, will it pop the bubbles in the financial, housing and jobs markets, plunging us into recession?
