President Biden has made the “anti-inflation choice” by picking Jerome Powell to lead the U.S. Federal Reserve for another term, said Saxo Bank’s Althea Spinozzi in her interview with CNBC this morning.
Spinozzi’s remarks on CNBC’s ‘Street Signs Europe’

Inflation is going to correct next year but is going to remain much higher than what we are accustomed to. That’s going to require some tightening from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
If Biden would’ve picked Brainard to chair the Fed, she added, interest rates might have been left untouched for longer, which could have “increased inflation expectations”. Earlier this month, Osterweis Capital Management’s Larry Cordisco listed a few stocks he said could outpace inflation.

We believe that 10-year yield will need to rise comfortably above 2.0%. We had the 2.0% target for this year, but with the debt ceiling crisis, that has been postponed. It’s likely that in Q1 of 2022, if we continue to see interest rate hikes accelerating, the 2-year yield will be tested.
