Now It’s a Waiting Game
The Fed cleared a lot up for the market yesterday by confirming that inflation still matters, but that systemic banking problems also matter. Powell pointed to the latter being like a free rate hike–i.e. something that helps deliver a tightening effect to the economy without the Fed actually having to hike rates.

The current range will likely prove to be too low if we don’t get additional evidence of bank stress or economic fallout, but for now, it’s centered on 3.50% in 10yr yields and on an end-of-year Fed Funds Rate range of 4.0 – 4.25% (expressed as 4.125% in the chart).
