Are we there yet?

For a market that is so beholden to monetary policy and desperately wanting to know 'are we there yet?' in terms of ending the tightening, I only thought of this yesterday after Powell basically said we are: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=18AzodTPG5U. BUT, as long as QT is still in place, we really aren't there just yet. Their balance sheet is still expected to …

Powell

The markets are latching on to two words in the Jay Powell speech, “just below” referring to where he thinks the neutral rate is.

Succinct Summation of the Week’s Events – 11/9

Positives 1) The FOMC statement was as uneventful as can be but that itself is a message from the Fed that nothing that occurred in October is going to alter their interest in raising rates again in December. 2) Initial jobless claims at 214k was as expected and little changed from 215k last week. The 4 week average also held at 214k. Continuing claims, delayed …
