Kevin Warsh: Inflation is a 'Choice', I View Bitcoin as an Important Asset

Kevin Warsh, former Federal Reserve Governor during the 2008 financial crisis, argues that inflation is a deliberate "choice" made by policymakers, not an unavoidable phenomenon. In a discussion with Peter Robinson, Warsh criticizes the Fed for failing its core mandate of ensuring price stability, blaming recent high inflation on the central bank's actions rather than external factors like supply chains or geopolitical events. He emphasizes that the Fed possesses the tools to control inflation but has instead enabled excessive government spending and expanded its role beyond its original purpose. Reflecting on his time at the Fed, Warsh supported the aggressive liquidity measures during the 2008 crisis as necessary to restore market function but opposed later rounds of quantitative easing (QE), which he believed created a "free lunch" mentality and blurred the lines between monetary and fiscal policy. He expresses concern over the Fed’s bloated balance sheet, now around $7 trillion, and argues that reducing it would help lower inflation and interest rates. Warsh also discusses Bitcoin, which he views not as a threat to the dollar but as an important asset that holds policymakers accountable. He believes the U.S. can overcome its fiscal challenges through higher economic growth and productivity, particularly driven by AI, and calls for a return to the Fed’s original mission: to act sparingly and only in genuine emergencies.

U.S. Stocks, Bonds, and Currency Plummet! Danish Pension Fund "Dumps U.S. Assets," Gold Soars

A major financial shock hit US markets on January 20, with stocks, bonds, and the dollar all falling sharply. The Dow dropped 1.76%, the S&P 500 fell 2.06%, and the Nasdaq declined 2.39%. The 10-year Treasury yield surged to 4.3%, and the dollar index fell below 99. European markets also fell, and even Bitcoin dropped below $90,000. The turmoil was triggered by geopolitical tensions after former President Trump expressed interest in acquiring Greenland and threatened tariffs on European countries that opposed the move. In response, the EU considered retaliatory tariffs on $93 billion of US goods. In a significant move, Danish pension fund AkademikerPension announced it would sell all its US Treasury holdings—around $100 million—citing unsustainable US fiscal policies and Trump’s threats toward Greenland. Other Danish pension funds also reduced exposure to US assets. As investors fled dollar assets, gold soared to a record high above $4,800 per ounce, while silver also surged. In contrast, cryptocurrencies fell sharply. Central banks, including Poland’s, are increasing gold reserves as a hedge against uncertainty. Ray Dalio of Bridgewater warned that Trump’s policies are sparking a "capital war," undermining confidence in the dollar’s role as the global reserve currency. Goldman Sachs noted that recent US actions have damaged the perceived safety and predictability of US assets.

Trump "Gets Serious": Powell Faces Investigation, Interest Rate Dispute Escalates

US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has publicly accused the US Department of Justice (DOJ) of threatening criminal charges to pressure the Fed into aligning interest rate policy with former President Donald Trump's demands. In a rare video statement, Powell condemned the action as an unprecedented attack on the central bank’s independence. The investigation, initiated by the Washington DC US Attorney’s office, focuses on allegations that Powell misled Congress regarding a $250 million renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. The conflict stems from Trump's longstanding criticism of Powell for being too slow to cut interest rates. Since returning to office, Trump has intensified pressure on the Fed to lower rates to stimulate economic growth. Market reactions were immediate, with US stock index futures falling, gold and silver prices rising, and Bitcoin holding near $91,000. Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to data-driven policy, emphasizing its mandate to ensure price stability and maximize employment, not to yield to political influence. Legal experts suggest the evidence against Powell is weak, but if charges proceed, he could face resignation or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, speculation about his potential replacements includes Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, both seen as favorable to Trump’s economic agenda. The situation has raised concerns about institutional independence and potential constitutional crisis.
