13. "and will -- whipsaw the markets on a whim"

He's already been whipsawing the markets with all the "tariffs on" and "tariffs off" TACO nonsense.

What will eventually start factoring in is when all the pre-tariff stock ups start dwindling and thus supplies drop, the piles of layoffs that have been increasingly announced across industries (some attempting to deploy AI), and when the immigrant purge that is happening causes major crop losses and disruption in the meatpacking industry (again impacting supplies and raising prices).

Powell apparently knows this and keeps telling everyone why they are monitoring before making any big moves.
