Kevin Warsh should LOWER INTEREST RATES BECAUSE:
Higher rates raise business costs
Companies borrowing money for inventory, expansion, real estate, or operations suddenly face higher financing costs. Those costs may get passed on to consumers through higher prices.
Government interest expense explodes
With massive federal debt, higher Treasury yields dramatically increase U.S. government interest payments. Some inflation critics argue this eventually forces:more money creation,
more deficits,
or currency debasement.

Housing costs can rise
Mortgage rates increase monthly payments and reduce housing supply because homeowners don’t want to sell low-rate mortgages. Reduced supply can keep rents and home prices elevated.
Commodity and supply-side inflation
If inflation is driven by shortages, energy, tariffs, or supply disruptions rather than excessive consumer demand, raising rates may not solve the problem and can even worsen production constraints.
Historical examples
Some analysts point to the 1970s, where rates rose alongside inflation for a period, arguing the Fed was “behind the curve” and that inflation psychology had already become embedded.

What Is El Niño?

El Niño–Southern Oscillation

El Niño occurs when waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become unusually warm.

That warm water changes global wind patterns and jet streams, which then affects weather all over the planet.

Typical El Niño effects:

  • Warmer global temperatures
  • More flooding rains in parts of the Americas
  • Drier conditions in Australia and Southeast Asia
  • Often fewer Atlantic hurricanes
  • Sometimes weaker monsoons in Asia
  • Can boost winter storms in parts of the southern U.S.

For investors and commodity traders, El Niño can affect:

  • Agriculture
  • Energy demand
  • Soft commodities (coffee, cocoa, sugar)
  • Natural gas
  • Insurance losses
  • Shipping patterns

What Is La Niña?

La Niña

La Niña is basically the opposite phase.

The same Pacific waters become cooler than normal.

Typical La Niña effects:

  • Cooler global average temperatures
  • More Atlantic hurricanes
  • Wetter Australia and Indonesia
  • Drier U.S. Southwest
  • Often colder northern U.S. winters
  • Can strengthen trade winds and alter fisheries

La Niña tends to increase weather extremes in different regions than El Niño.

Simple Analogy

Think of the Pacific Ocean as a giant bathtub influencing Earth’s atmosphere.

  • El Niño = the bathtub warms up
  • La Niña = the bathtub cools down

That temperature shift changes air circulation worldwide.

What Makes This Article Different?

Normally, El Niño and La Niña are explained through ocean-atmosphere physics alone:

  • trade winds
  • ocean currents
  • sea surface temperatures
  • pressure systems

But this article suggests a possible solar connection.

Specifically:

The researchers claim that a solar magnetic transition event called a:

Solar Terminator Event

may help predict ENSO shifts.

What Is the “Terminator”?

According to the article:

  • The Sun has magnetic cycles (~11 years)
  • A “Terminator” marks the end of one solar cycle and the start of another
  • The researchers noticed:
    • ENSO shifts often happen near these events
    • El Niño may appear about 5 years afterward

They say:

  • Terminator occurred in December 2021
  • Therefore a major El Niño could emerge in 2026

The article also mentions:

  • Earlier predictions correctly anticipated a “triple-dip” La Niña
  • Researchers now think geomagnetic activity may matter more than cosmic rays

Important Scientific Context

This is still considered highly speculative by much of the climate science community.

The standard explanation for ENSO remains:

  • ocean heat transport
  • atmospheric circulation
  • Pacific trade winds

The proposed solar connection is intriguing because:

  • some predictions have worked
  • correlations appear statistically interesting

But scientists still do not know the physical mechanism.

The article itself acknowledges this.

Correlation does not yet prove causation.

Why Traders Watch El Niño Closely

Because strong El Niño events historically move markets.

Examples:

  • Agricultural supply shocks
  • Energy demand changes
  • Higher insurance claims
  • Weather-driven commodity spikes
  • Fisheries disruptions
  • Transportation bottlenecks

The famous 1997–98 El Niño caused enormous global economic impacts.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.

I APPEARED AS A GUEST PANELIST WITH LOUIS RUKEYSER ONE MONTH BEFORE IN MID-SEPTEMBER 1987!
