January FOMC Mintues Preview: 50bps, Terminal Rate And QT

05:22pm, Wednesday, 16'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
January FOMC Mintues Preview: 50bps, Terminal Rate And QT The Jan FOMC took place before both the blockbuster (in its seasonal adjustments) January NFP print and the red hot, 4-decade high January CPI report, so the Minutes will not reflect hawkish shifts in sentiment driven by the most recent data. Instead, Wall Street will be looking for any more conditions/guidance set out by the FOMC on key topics such as the rate path, increment of initial lift-off in March, and details or strategies around balance sheet reduction. Courtesy of Newsquawk, here is what to look for: 2022 RATE PATH: The FOMC signaled on Jan 26th that it is of a mind to raise rates at its March meeting. Chair Powell was less forthright on the pace of hikes, with markets currently pricing over six 25bps hikes by year-end currently, a ramp up from the four priced at the time of the meeting. Fed speakers themselves have been touting between three-to-five 25bps hikes this year, although those have been upward moving targets as the hot Jan data has rolled in.
Anti-Gun BLM Activist Charged For Alleged Shooting Murder Attempt Of Louisville Mayoral Candidate Authored by Lorenz Duschamps via The Epoch Times, A former Black Lives Matter and gun control activist and candidate for Louisville ’s metro council in Kentucky has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly opening fire at a mayoral candidate, police said on Tuesday. [ZH: As the now Twitter-suspended Defiant L''s noted, there is some irony here…] Besides one count of attempted murder, 21-year-old Quintez Brown also faces four counts of wanton endangerment, a spokesperson for the Louisville Metro Police Department said. The suspect, who was raised in west Louisville, pleaded not guilty at an arraignment on Tuesday and his bond was set at $100,000. A judge ordered him not to have contact with the alleged victim, Craig Greenberg, a Democrat running for Louisville mayor, or his campaign staff. “The gunman stood in the doorway as he fired the shots, and one of my teammates was standing to the side of the door and was able to get the door slammed, and then he and other teammates that were closer to the door just threw tables and desks to barricade us in,” Greenberg, whose shirt was grazed by a bullet during the incident, said at a press conference on Monday. “I’m very fortunate to have a great team of brave people who responded in that way,” he added. “It all happened so quick—but it’s a very surreal experience.” Investigators said Brown appears to have acted alone and the motive remains under investigation.

Australian dollar bides its time, CBA sees RBA hiking in June

04:54am, Tuesday, 15'th Feb 2022 Business Recorder
SYDNEY: The Australian and New Zealand dollars marked time on Tuesday as global markets waited to see how events in Ukraine would unfold, while strength in energy and metals prices favoured the Aussie over the kiwi. The Aussie was holding at $0.7130, after bouncing from a low of $0.7086 overnight. Major resistance is up at $0.7248, while support comes in at $0.7100. Australia, NZ dollars flat as geopolitics outweighs commodity gains The kiwi dollar lagged at $0.6614, having slipped 0.7% overnight to test $0.6593 support. The failure to sustain last week''s top of $0.6733 has returned risks to the downside and January''s trough of $0.6532. Hobbling the Aussie has been the dogged dovishness of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), with minutes of its latest meeting confirming it was in no rush to raise rates. Gareth Aird, CBA''s head of Australian economics, argues the RBA is underestimating the inflationary pulse and has brought forward his prediction for a rate hike to June, from August. "We are very comfortable with our expectation that Q1 underlying inflation data will be a lot stronger than the RBA''s forecast," said Aird. "Input costs have risen very swiftly and this is feeding through to faster growth in output prices." He expects core inflation to jump 1.2% in the first quarter, taking the annual pace to 3.5%.
