Cudmore: “Now Only A Severe Market Correction Will Stop The Fed From Hiking In March”
zerohedge.com / From Mark Cudmore, a former FX trader who writes for Bloomberg / Mar 2, 2017
March Hike Is Now Base Case as U.S. Data Game Shifts: Macro View
Lael Brainard’s hawkish comments confirm that a March rate rise must now be the base case for investors, and it’s unlikely the upcoming data even matters.
Brainard is not only part of the Fed’s core, she’s arguably the most dovish member of it. When she sends a hawkish message, you need to pay attention.
I didn’t believe a March hike was coming. I was wrong. Brainard’s speech wasn’t an anomaly -– Dudley had laid the groundwork already on Tuesday.
It’s not a completely done deal, but investors must now be studying the calendar to see what could derail a March hike. How quickly things change. Only a week ago, we were debating what could be the catalyst to make March likely.
The key inflation data came out last night and hardly presented a compelling case for monetary-policy tightening. In fact, the broad data picture has been more indicative of an economy that could probably cope with a hike rather than one at risk of overheating and in need of tightening.
