The financial markets appear to have lost their ability to independently price risk, raising concerns about their fundamental functioning without the guiding hand of the Federal Reserve. This dependency suggests a potential over-reliance on central bank interventions, which may be distorting natural market mechanisms and hindering the accurate assessment of economic uncertainties. The question now is whether these markets have forgotten how to operate autonomously, a situation that could have significant implications for economic stability and investment strategies.
