Interest-Rate Outlook |
Bond-market consequences of the Fed's rate cut - 09/30/2024 |
The Fed influences, but does not control, the bond market. As happened recently, a sufficiently large depreciation of the currency (relative to gold) can more than offset a Fed rate cut. |

Why energy markets are so volatile - 08/31/2024 |
Energy-stock prices rise and fall with the price of oil, which in the longer run moves in parallel with forward gold. Shorter-term fluctuations in the oil-gold ratio are due in part to movements in the implied volatility of the oil market. Other factors cannot yet be identified. |

Sustained risk and capital-market performance - 09/30/2024 |
Geopolitical risk is a major factor in capital markets, but it comes in more than one flavor. Evidence from a news-based index suggest that implied volatility subsides more quickly than the asset-price damage that it causes. |

The currency-performance factor in economic development - 08/31/2024 |
Using stock markets as a rough proxy for economic development in the emerging world, there is extensive evidence that one of the major barriers is currency depreciation. The damage done lasts for years. But when a currency eventually stabilizes, stock prices bounce back. |

Gold and oil prices predict or explain inflation all by themselves - 09/30/2024 |
Economists talk as if the inflation rate were determined by supply and demand in the markets for consumption goods and services, together with the restraining effect of interest-rate hikes. In practice, price movements in commodities that have nothing to do with consumer markets explain and anticipate inflation very well by themselves. |
