“Central bank policies of QE, NIRP, ZIRP have unquestionably exacerbated the gap between Wall St & Main St in past decade.” – Michael Hartnet, Bank of America

BofA: Central Banks Have Unquestionably Exacerbated The Gap Between Rich And Poor
ZeroHedge, Jul 20, 2018 – Excerpts:
In his latest weekly Flow Show, BofA’s Michael Hartnett touches on a familiar topic: the rise of global populism and where it ultimately ends: “the end of central bank independence“, which he calls the ultimately populist policy.
Confirming something we have said since inception and explaining – once again – the advent of such phenomena as Brexit, the European backlash against immigrants, and of course, Donald Trump, the BofA strategist writes that “central bank policies of QE, NIRP, ZIRP have unquestionably exacerbated the gap between Wall St & Main St in past decade.”
Meanwhile, the wealth gap continues and in the latest quarter the US private sector financial assets are now 5.5x greater than US GDP, an all-time high, with the bulk of said financial assets held by a tiny fraction of the population.
With the great divide between the haves and have nots continuing to grow – despite the election of numerous populist leaders in nations around the globe, most recently Malaysia, Austria, and Mexico – BofA warns that the inability of monetary & fiscal policy, global synchronized recovery, and record corporate profits to create sustained wage growth, investors must discount more protectionism, redistribution & ultimately debt monetization via central banks in coming years… all trends that a recession would dramatically accelerate.
