But the Fed is not the only game in town controlling interest rates. Bond traders do as well, by trading so-called fix income investments that are highly sensitive to inflation.
When inflation spikes, bonds and the interest payments they deliver, as well as principal they pay at some date in the future, are worth less.
Thus their prices fall and their yields spike— investors demand more for their risk of inflation eating returns. That drives up interest rates on everything. The US economy contracts as consumers stop spending on homes (already we’re seeing mortgage rates increase) and other stuff; businesses borrow less to expand because it’s more expensive. Unemployment rises and you get a pretty deep recession.
You would rather have the Fed controlling interest rates than the bond market. The government can try to take it slow, whereas the bond market is agnostic to the suffering of the American people.
Bond traders = Free market
Fed = Gov control/minipulation
