Assalamualaikum
Gold still waiting
It's life let's live and enjoy
nothing he has said is new. They've been talking about raising rates .25 since last year for this year. Nothing new under the sun. All prices have been already priced in.
"..we could hike 50bp..." that ought to make markets happy, only 50 bps compared to two-digits inflation
Good news
Only 25 bps=)) lol... "If" inflation persists... incredible...
25bps, inflation - sky is the limit, after that...the end
So let's get this straight...
0.25% rate increase in March (2 weeks)
0.25% rate increase in April
0.25% rate increase in May
0.25% rate increase in June

What markets were "expecting" was
0.25% in March
0.50% in April
0.25% in May
June = re-assessment or continue with 0.25% rate increases

All the Ukrainian conflict has done is INCREASE INFLATION.
...because you never know - until you do!
Yeah.. though a lot baked in price already, euro could swing lot lower on that sort of hike schedule.

Powell and the Fed are more than happy with out of control inflation. This is what they have been praying for since 2008. Inflation is theft, plain and simple. Joe public will be paying for the reckless Govt spending and the Feds mismanagement of the economy. A 5% pay increase countered by 10% inflation just doesn't cut it in the real world.
