There will be no Fed tightening but they will loosen too late. Lacy Hunt confirms what I have been saying:There has been no printing other than allowing rates to go down and banks to create money via debt.Money via debt looks like money but it has a different nature and when debt to GDP gets too high bank created money stops growing. Lacy explains how the Fed could truly print but there needs to be a change in the law. Lacy misses one thing about MMT which is that occasionally about every 50 years a stress on the system may require MMT to produce enough dollars for world needs.Yes perpetual MMT will create inflation but during deflation when rates hit zero or go negative it is needed. Gold may fall or not rise until rates hit zero and real printing begins

I think no rate rise but to prevent criticism about giving into Trump the Fed will be slow on dropping rates. When rates go negative the rules change and MMT happens. For now TMF and later GDXJ
