Will The Fed Raise Rates To 9 Percent?

In this video, I discuss why central banks sometimes target positive real rates, and whether the Fed will be able to hike to 9% in order to get Fed Funds above the CPI inflation rate.
The answer is a definite No, due to high debt levels in the economy.
9% Fed Funds would mean much, much higher mortgage rates, car loan rates, credit card rates, as well as much higher financing costs for the US government, which would need to be offset by the Fed buying even more government debt.
Jerome Powell is in a very different position from Paul Volcker. Chances are that the Fed will need to pivot by August or September 2022, much sooner than market participants are currently expecting.
