86. From Transitory to Tightening & Tariffs - Oh My! (Fed Deep Dive Pt. 2)
In Part 2 of our mini-series on “The Federal Reserve aka The Fed,” we break down how the Fed responded to inflation, why they waited so long, and how their decisions affected everything—from interest rates and mortgage costs to job markets and financial markets. This was one of the fastest rate hike cycles in history! It was the result of a tricky balancing act between fighting inflation and protecting the recovering economy. By the way, Fed Powell referred to Tariffs as transitory again recently, and this has actually happened before - that’s why the Fed chooses his words very wisely, diction is one of the FOMC’s tools in their toolbox. What You’ll Learn:What the Fed thought was happening in 2021 (spoiler: they called it “transitory”)How inflation kept rising—and why the Fed had to play catch-upWhat aggressive rate hikes are actually supposed to doAnd what we’ve learned (the hard way) about responding to supply-driven inflationIf you’ve been trying to understand how we got from 0% interest rates to 5.5% in under two years, this episode connects the dots. Because once you understand “the why” behind the Fed’s moves, the headlines make a lot more sense.Support the showAsk Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe:🔗All Market MakeHer Links 👀 YouTube Channel ✨ Jess Inskip: TikTok Instagram ✨ Jessie DeNuit: TikTok Instagram Funny Finance Shirts and MerchAbout Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend, a beginner investor.

84. Remix: When Yields Speak Louder Than Headlines
Lately, the market’s been moving over 1,000 points a day. We call this volatility fueled by uncertainty. We’ve been talking about falling yields, rising rates, and now tariffs are back in the headlines… but what if the real story is in the credit market?In this episode, we’re replaying one of our favorite breakdowns: bond vigilantes — who they are, how they got their name, and the role they’ve played in shaping market history. And with everything happening right now, it’s more relevant than ever.We walk through what’s going on with the 10-year Treasury yield, why a major hedge fund’s exit triggered a wave of selling, and how a “buyer’s strike” in the bond market could turn into something even bigger. Jess shares why she thinks this yield surge might be what actually caught Trump’s attention, and what that means for the rally that followed.We also tie in the basis trade and why volatility in the bond market can be a warning sign for the economy.This episode brings historical context to today’s chaos — because once you understand the credit market, you start to see how it quietly drives everything else.Support the showAsk Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe:🔗All Market MakeHer Links 👀 YouTube Channel ✨ Jess Inskip: TikTok Instagram ✨ Jessie DeNuit: TikTok Instagram Funny Finance Shirts and MerchAbout Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend, a beginner investor.
