Fed Publishes Final POMO Schedule, Killing Expectations For An Intermeeting Rate Hike Earlier today we observed that amid speculation of an intermeeting, or emergency rate hike, all eyes were on today''s final POMO schedule release from the Fed due at 3PM to see whether there would be any notable changes to the Fed''s QE plans, or whether the Fed would even end QE prematurely today. Well, a few minutes after 3PM ET, the Fed effectively killed any speculation for an early rate hike when it published what will be its final (for now) POMO schedule, which sees $20 billion in Treasury bonds purchased across 8 operations over the next month, with the final purchase of $4 billion taking place on March 9, in line with expectations, and one week before the March 16 FOMC meeting when the Fed will hike 50bps and just one day before the February CPI print is released and the ECB''s next decision. And while Feb Fed Funds yields hit session lows after the POMO publication as odds of an emergency rate hike imploded... ... what is notable is that March rate hikes odds are also sliding fast, perhaps in light of the latest geopolitical panic where according to the deep state, Putin is set to invade in just a few days.

Patrick Daley Thompson disputing how much he owed bank When Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson got a statement in the mail in 2018 that said he owed $269,000 to the shuttered Washington Federal Bank for Savings, he dialed up a customer-service line. He answered all the classic security questions. Then he insisted he had only borrowed $100,000 from the bank and called the situation “completely bizarre.” “I’m very perplexed,” Thompson said. “This is a significantly higher and much more than — remotely of what we were talking about.” He added, “And I dispute that.” Those comments by Thompson in a Feb. 23, 2018, call to Planet Home Lending are the basis for the first count in his April 2021 indictment — alleging he lied about how much he owed Washington Federal — and jurors heard a recording of it today as Thompson’s federal tax trial continued at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.

The U.S. Federal Reserve should stop buying bonds from the market now to contain rampant inflation, a top investment manager at BlackRock said in a research note on Thursday, after higher-than-anticipated January inflation data.

Whispers Of An Emergency Fed Rate Hike As Soon As Tomorrow With the punditry obsessing over the March FOMC meeting, where odds earlier today hit 100% of a 50bps rate hike before easing modestly (and more than 6 hikes for all of 2022)… ... the real action is in the February Fed funds contract which has spiked to 13bps, suggesting 5bps of tightening relative to the effective Fed funds rate of 0.08%. Why is this notable? Because the February contract expires on Feb 28, more than two weeks before the March 16 FOMC decision. This means that someone is preparing for an intermeeting rate hike, some time before March. And plugging in the numbers, the 13bps in the Feb contract means that there is now a 30% chance of an emergency rate hike. Impossible? Not according to Fed watcher and SGH Macro strategist Tim Duy who writes that he would "not be surprised by an intermeeting move either tomorrow Friday or by Monday. I know, this is crazy aggressive." Aggressive? yes. Crazy? perhaps - after all the Fed is still buying bonds as part of its ongoing QE which is expected to conclude in late February/early March.
