The market and the Federal Reserve have been in cogent conversations for quite some time now but the issue of value has been the main one. Recently, Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, spoke about the economy, rates, and markets in an attempt to determine the future economic recovery, and how the nation can build, maintain, and grow value.
In simple terms, the Federal Reserve’s main focus has been to control inflation, unable to contain prices with just an inflationary gear in businesses, patients will need to look competence, persistence, industry intelligence, and simplicity to achieve growth. The Federal Reserves assessment is that the current market environment coupled with the current fiscal environment provides an opportunity to grow value.
Equity markets around the world have responded positively to the news showing more room for companies to grow and benefit in the long term. US equity markets have responded well as well, indicating improved sentiment that the environmental and economic conditions are finally stabilizing.
90-day T-Bills, an indicator of investor’s attitude towards short-term debt security, has surged in the past 4 weeks after Powell’s speech. This made investors comfortable with shorter-term investments, as they may have found the federal government more determined to keep short-term lending rates low. This decision also provided evidence that the government is focused on helping companies navigate around the current challenges and reduce risk with access to more favourable borrowing rates.
The promise of value that the Federal Reserve has been providing banks and companies with this assurance has translated to stock markets flourishing. As the market looks to expand, there will be plenty of new opportunities for businesses to capture.
With the right amount of effort and financial discipline, businesses have the power to find and own that valuable asset. The issue of overseeing value is not limited to the Federal Reserve alone. The path to acquiring and increasing that asset calls for conviction from the economy, entrepreneurs, and the government. As more confidence in the market and economic environment spreads, more value can be found for those seeking it.
