Mid‑June. Peak summer. Bozeman sun blazing. Translation: I’m keeping this short because even the markets don’t deserve my full attention when the weather finally cooperates.
The FOMC wraps its June meeting tomorrow, and the headline isn’t whether they nudge rates, freeze rates, or sacrifice a goat to the inflation gods. The real show is the debut of the new Fed Chairman, Kevin Warsh. What’s his style? His philosophy? His vibe? Oh, the suspense. Truly edge‑of‑your‑seat stuff.
Since it’s his first day at the big kids’ table, don’t expect fireworks. No rate changes, no bold predictions, no sudden reinvention of monetary physics. Let the man find the bathrooms, the vending machines, and the secret hallway where they keep the “transitory inflation” talking points.
Meanwhile, the world is doing what it does best: misbehaving. Peace accord with Iran? Maybe. Maybe not. Shipping lanes open? Closed? Jammed with oil tankers and excuses? Inflation too high? Of course. Midterms hogging headlines? Naturally. Sky falling? Depends on the hour.
And yet the market’s answer to all of it is the same: buy, buy, buy. (Okay, maybe just one reluctant buy for bitcoin and gold, but still.)
That’s the problem. When money feels free and markets only point north no matter what the news says, it’s not a strategy—it’s a theme park ride. And I’m not against free money, but I’d rather watch the roller coaster than be strapped into the front row when the bolts start rattling.
So I’m staying neutral on everything and letting summer do what summer does: slow everything down until even the markets get sleepy.
See you next week—sun‑kissed, relaxed, and pretending I didn’t check futures from the pool.
