Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 015: US & Fed outlook with Danny Dayan
Q: How might Warsh change the policy stance at the Fed given the current dynamics?
Warsh could push for balance sheet downsizing and reduce forward guidance, aiming to re-anchor inflation expectations and align policy with a more neutral or even hawkish stance depending on how the labor market and inflation data evolve; the key will be whether he can build consensus among the board.
Episode 015: US & Fed outlook with Danny Dayan
Q: What are the main policy mistakes you think the Fed has made recently?
The Fed let inflation expectations become unanchored by signaling rate cuts too early, allowed the balance sheet to stay too large for too long, and relied on forward guidance that was not backed by credible action, which weakened the transmission mechanism of monetary policy.
Episode 011: Iran implications with Erik @YWR
Q: How does the current Middle East conflict affect your outlook on risk and asset allocation?
The hosts discuss heightened uncertainty and a framework where risk premia could shift in multiple directions, depending on whether a favorable or adverse outcome materializes, with particular attention to tail risks and the potential for regime changes to alter correlation structures.
