Open original source ↗Stop saying "the Fed can't print oil." It's a lazy comment.
Maybe, without a supply shock muddying the water, the Fed would have seen more easily that deglobalization ended goods deflation, which masked problematic services infaltion and hiked sooner.
If so, long-term yields might be lower today, since bond traders could have stopped panicking sooner because the Fed started panicking earlier.
