With the likelihood increasing that a rate hike could come from the U.S. next month, attention was on James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, ahead of a statement due less than an hour from the time of writing. Speaking to mainstream media Wednesday, Bullard gave strong signals that he was in favor of raising rates harder and faster to combat inflation. "We are missing our inflation target on our preferred measure… and policy is still at rock bottom lows and we’ve still got asset purchases going on," he told CNN quoted by Reuters.

A Far Greater Risk Emerges: Bond Market Liquidity Is Quietly Collapsing In recent weeks we have repeatedly directed attention to the woeful liquidity in the e-mini S&P future, arguably the most important contract behind the broader US equity market, where book depth has collapsed to levels last seen during the March 2020 crash when just an order size of just 4 million could move the contract by 1 tick.
