    Last year, US stock indices hit numerous ATH due to massive QE and zero interest rate. Now these steroid strategy is coming back to bite the US economy.Inflation is at 7.5%, highest since 1982 due to unlimited printing of money. The FED will be forced to terminate its zero interest rate regime, and to trim her massive $9 trillion balance sheet. The Ukraine crisis and trade disruption and sanctions will throw another spanner at the Biden Administration.
