ay i wrote however the plunge in oil prices and the turmoil in the junk bond market might increase the likelihood that the fed will delay the so called lift off of interest rates beyond mid 2015 none and done in 2015 is a distinct possibility for fed policy let s see what fed chair janet yellen has to say later today i m counting on her to continue to be the fairy godmother of the bull market on tuesday i wrote the fomc might surprise us and keep considerable time in the statement i noted that inflationary expectations are falling i also wrote the distress in the junk bond market might also dissuade the fomc from changing the considerable time language in any case fed chair janet yellen s press conference on wednesday afternoon could have a big impact on the markets i m still betting that she is the fairy godmother of the bull market on monday i noted that frb chicago president charles evans one of the fed s uber doves has called on his colleagues to be patient and to delay raising interest rates wednesday s fomc statement confirmed my analysis based on its current assessment the committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalize the stance of monetary policy the committee sees this guidance as consistent with its previous statement that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the 0 to 1 4 percent target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time following the end of its asset purchase program in october especially if projected inflation continues to run below the committee s 2 percent longer run goal and provided that longer term inflation expectations remain well anchored the fomc remains dovish and patient it will be even more dovish and patient next year when evans will be a voter two of the three dissenters richard fisher and charles plosser were hawks who are retiring the fomc has to be concerned about the financial stresses caused by the plunge in oil prices and the strength of the dollar as evidenced by the spike in junk bond yields and the selloffs in the bonds stocks and currencies of emerging economies that s why they are willing to be patient for a considerable time longer yesterday s morning briefing grand central 24 7 1 fairy godmother 2 the fomc will be even more dovish and patient next year 3 evans will get a vote next year and two hawks are retiring 4 fomc clearly concerned about financial instability related to dropping oil prices soaring dollar and and rising junk yields 5 central banks succeeding in inflating wealth 6 their transmission mechanisms to their economies aren t

excerpt we now have november data compiled by oil market intelligence on global oil demand and supply the data show that world crude oil revenues and outlays at an annual rate plunged by 1 1 trillion from june through november down to 2 7 trillion opec s revenues are down at an annualized 409 billion over this period global oil demand growth continued to slow while the 12 month average rose to a record high of 92 8mbd during november it was up just 0 7 y y the lowest since april 2012 the weakness is mostly attributable to the advanced economies of the oecd where oil demand is down 0 8 y y while emerging economies demand is up 2 2 the big story of course is the surge in non opec production in recent months it jumped 2 8mbd over the past six months through november it is up 4 4 y y that s forced opec to reduce output slightly last month us and canadian output rose 1 1mbd over the past six months through november i expect that the plunge in oil prices will reduce global production quickly within the next few months especially in countries with relatively high production costs we predict that the price of a barrel of brent will stabilize between 60 and 70 next year today s morning briefing grand central 24 7 1 fairy godmother 2 the fomc will be even more dovish and patient next year 3 evans will get a vote next year and two hawks are retiring 4 fomc clearly concerned

years might have been a bubble not just in the us but worldwide booms have a tendency to turn into bubbles when they attract too much equity and debt capital which leads to excess capacity when the bubbles inflate so do the prices that attract all the capital when the resulting excess capacity leads to falling prices the bubble bursts as capital dries up the key characteristic of tulip and other bubbles is expectations that tulip prices will continue to rise even as more tulips are produced during the second half of the 1800s we had the railroad boom in the us during the early 1900s the booms were in autos and appliances the great depression ended with the defense spending boom of world war ii during the 1950s and 1960s the expansion of the highway system stimulated the growth of suburbs the resulting housing boom ended in a big bust at the end of the previous decade the it revolution stimulated the us economy during the 1990s the energy industry was energized by the technological revolution resulting in the fracking boom again with the benefit of hindsight it now seems that the fracking boom was a bubble financed by investors desperately seeking better returns available from

the 11 17 morning briefing titled the great deflators i wrote about zombies in their effort to moderate the business cycle central bankers have a tendency to keep zombies alive these are the walking dead business borrowers who borrowed too much and are hemorrhaging cash they need to die and should be buried instead easy money keeps them in business allowing them to continue producing more with their excess and unprofitable capacity today china is full of zombies there are plenty in the global mining industries if you look hard enough you ll find zombies just about everywhere it certainly would be easier to spot them if central banks started to tighten their monetary policies that might explain why central banks aren t likely to do so deflation may be the most telling sign of the
