An insider's view of regulations, bond markets, bank reserves, central banks, quantitative easing, fancy wines, when it's inappropriate to drink cappuccinos, government-guaranteed bank loans and more! Alfonso "Macro Alf" Peccatiello of The Macro Compass joins Jeff Snider (and Emil).

------EP. 194 TOPICS------
00:00:00 INTRO: Introducing Alfonso Peccatiello, @MacroAlf and The Macro Compass.
00:04:08 Equities can qualify as high quality liquid assets - if you do it correctly.
00:05:47 Regulations to make banks safe and restrict activity are cosmetic and worked around.
00:08:13 Bank Reserves are inert, non-yielding burdens to the bank portfolio manager.
00:13:17 Will bank reserves be inflationary because the reserves can be turned into cash?
00:15:30 Will bank reserves force a portfolio reallocation into higher (inflationary?) risk?
00:18:27 Do banks replace QE-sold sovereign bond assets with more sovereign bond assets?
00:22:30 Are regulations holding back banks from credit/money creation in the real economy?
00:24:11 Three factors, in alignment, are required for banks to lend / take-on risk.
00:27:57 Bank reserves are immaterial in inflationary AND deflationary environments.
00:32:56 Would government-guaranteed bank loans break the economy out of the depression?
00:41:16 The world's equilibrium interest rate is heading lower with each cycle.
00:43:17 Rehypothecation is a necessity as fewer AAA collateral assets are available.
00:47:14 OUTRO: Follow Alfonso on Twitter (@MacroAlf) and Substack (The Macro Compass).
