MNI PODCAST-FedSpeak: Hoenig Sees Year-End Inflation Around 6%

(MNI) WASHINGTON
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
  • Former KC Fed President Thomas Hoenig tells MNI he expects wide-ranging discussion of macroeconomic and policy constraints at next week's Annual Jackson Hole Symposium.
  • Hoenig doesn't think Powell will show his cards on whether the Fed will hike 50 bps or 75 bps in September.
  • He sees a high probability of recession next year if the Fed tightens policy enough to bring down inflation.
  • The ex-FDIC vice chair says banks are not as well capitalized as regulators claim, and asset price declines linked to Fed tightening could accelerate losses.
