Analyst Musalem warns the Fed cannot rely on higher productivity to lower inflation, suggesting persistent inflation may lead to prolonged high interest rates
US Intelligence Assets Said To Descend On Cuba
Authored by John Weeks via News.Anti-War.com,
Writing in POLITICO on Tuesday, Dasha Burns and Nahal Toosi reported that in recent months the US intelligence community has “sent spies and assets” to Cuba. Specifically, they reported the CIA has increased its presence on the island, which sits approximately 90 miles south of Florida.
Burns and Toosi based their reporting on interviews with “two people familiar with the Trump administration’s plans for the island,” who were left anonymous due to the “sensitive” nature of the information they provided. The authors said the CIA, White House, Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence all declined requests for comment.
The report claimed the Trump Administration does not believe it has to resolve the war with Iran before taking military action in Cuba and that the Cuban issue is a “huge priority” of Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio.
Rewritten: Musalem backs rate hikes, inflation remains high
Fed official Musalem supports interest rate hikes and warns that inflation remains elevated, suggesting further tightening.
The Fed's Musalem signaling continued rate hikes amid persistent inflation reinforces a restrictive monetary policy stance, casting doubt on near-term relief for equity markets. This stance heightens concerns about prolonged high borrowing costs, pressuring growth-oriented sectors and bond yields, while dampening risk appetite across asset classes. Market sentiment shifts toward caution as investors grapple with the prospect of extended tightening, potentially delaying the anticipated pivot to cuts. The persistence of elevated inflation data, central to Musalem's view, underscores a macro environment where real economic growth faces headwinds, eroding confidence in a swift soft landing. Consequently, investor willingness to assume risk diminishes, favoring defensive assets and potentially triggering capital rotation away from equities, amplifying volatility in a challenging macro backdrop.
