Definitely a tricky position for the Fed. With labor data softening and inflation still sticky, a 25bp cut in September seems likely. Jackson Hole will be critical for clues on their next moves. Market sentiment is hanging on every word
Took some bet that they will hold rate steady. Looks like CPI is just about to shoot up. Time will tell... If it surprises tot he upside, I do not think the FED can cut...
Fair point on CPI potentially spiking. If inflation surprises to the upside, the Fed might indeed hold rates steady. Jackson Hole could give us a clearer picture of their thinking. Time will tell
It will be VERY interesting! Volatility is about to make a come back!
