Is This Why Interest Rates Are Falling and the Global Economy Slowing?

Has the off-shore dollar market in terms of dollar financing and currency hedging gotten so big that it can dictate Federal Reserve monetary policy including the expected short-term interest rate cut by the Fed at its July 2019 open market committee meeting? In other words, has the Federal Reserve lost its ability to conduct monetary policy and control interest rates as it sees fit and is now in search of other tools?

In this episode you’ll learn:

Why the Federal Reserve is puzzled by how U.S. interest rates are behaving.
How the large but opaque off-shore dollar lending and currency hedging market could be strengthening the dollar, slowing the global economy and pushing down interest rates.
What is leading to a global dollar shortage.
Why the Federal Reserve is researching other policy tools.
What investors can do to protect against uncertainty regarding the dollar
