Services below 50 along with Manufacturing are already signs Fed has done enough, by some people more than enough.
We'll see if Manufacturing will continue to decline, if it is I bet the Fed is over pretty soon. Unemployment is also in focus. The moment we get unemployment spike, it's safe to say it's over and soft landing is wishful thinking as was that inflation was transitory.
Hiking cycle -> Pausing cycle -> Recession
Fed's pausing will have an impact on USD, but we'll see for how long since recession is imminent.
I am preparing to catch those nice prices up there before things get real.
Powell will for sure try to remain as hawkish as he can be saying anything to prop up USD. Perhaps that pause is in sight, but Fed may raise rates again later on etc.
I am more worried about Bailey to be honest.
