Why are central bank rate hikes failing to cool down global inflation? In this cinematic video, we break down why traditional monetary policy is hitting a wall in the modern economy.
When central banks raise interest rates, borrowing is supposed to slow down. However, two price-insensitive bidders—massive AI hyperscalers and sovereign governments rolling over national debt—are competing for the same pile of global capital.
In this video, we cover:
- Bill Ackman’s warning on why Fed rate hikes are creating a cost-push inflation loop.
- The "Cost Channel of Monetary Transmission" and inelastic demand in AI compute.
- Real-world proof: Over $70 billion in debt raised by CoreWeave, Meta, SoftBank, and Anthropic immediately after rate hikes.
- The bond market signal: Real interest rates hitting 2008 highs (~3%) while inflation expectations remain flat.
- Historical parallel: President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1966 policy pivot when rate hikes failed to stop price-insensitive corporate spending.
