There is an indicator that predicts the Federal Reserve's interest rate trend with higher accuracy than most economists— the height of the Federal Reserve Chair.


- Volcker: 1.90 meters+, raised interest rates to 20%, stubbornly crushed inflation.
- Greenspan: 1.80 meters, ushered in a low-interest-rate era, asset prices went wild for 18 years.
- Bernanke: 1.73 meters, inventor of quantitative easing, printed money to save the market.
- Yellen: 1.52 meters, a dove to her core.
- Powell: 1.80 meters, the most aggressive rate-hiker, back to a tough guy approach.
Another indicator: every time there's a leadership change, the market experiences a round of adjustment at the beginning of the new chair's term.
Soon entering the Wash era.
Of course, this is all metaphysics.
