ECB is going to do 50 Basis Point

Inflation is not coming down

All business numbers are doing great

FED officials talked about 25 basis point, they will go further hard as job market is good at present and they can control further, later they may not get this opportunity.

Party pooper JPOW is coming friends....thoughts

List of all the times the Fed hiked more than expected in the past 22 years:

Dorktastical t1_j6j0lm4 wrote

What about their first 75bp hike? bond markets expected 50 until suddenly a few days before a new york post monkey that's known for getting inside info from the fed talked about 75bp and got that rapidly baked in over 3 days involvimg massive gaps down on the indexes. No way that counts as having been expected.

StritPlunGrateNud t1_j6j8z1u wrote

You left out the disastrous CPI report that came out the week before the Fed meeting which turned the prospects of a 75bps hike into a real possibility, and sparked the change in expectations and the gap downs in the equity markets.

pegunless t1_j6k1pms wrote

This time the same reporter has been signaling 25

Dorktastical t1_j6k9s38 wrote

Nick Timiraos's twitter is where this information comes out, I don't disagree that it is likely to be 25bp but I see a lot of signs that we should be expecting 50bp. He's tweeting about Brainard's recent speeches and about how inflation hasn't proven itself to have stabilized.

pegunless t1_j6kg545 wrote

Previously he outright stated 25, I'm taking those statements as justification for continuing on that path. At this point if they were considering 50 I think you'd see him state "50 is a real possibility". The Fed really dislikes surprising the markets.

It counts considering that the fed mentioned hiking by 75bps because of the recent cpi report

There was the 1994 surprise hike.

Went into work at GS a few weeks later and the entire money markets department was gone. Guess they didn't expect it.

They should do 50, but they aren't going to do it I'm expecting .25 hikes for the next year and a reversal around election time. Consecutive .25 is needed just to maintain the current inflation rates.

50 is not expected. What is expected is public info, and there’s like a 99.5% chance of 25.

Wonko-D-Sane t1_j6iuzzx wrote

>2%

Not happening for the next 5 years at least. Far more likely the USD/SWIFT gets abandoned as the basis currency since the rate hikes needed to get you to 2% would just devastate the rest of the world.

Americans basically deciding what their money is worth by jacking up rates to regarded amounts, while goverment keeps printing and borrowing.

The idea that retail/businesses borrowing cost is an alternate universe/reality from government borrowing and spending is funny. So policy makers want the government to have free money, and people to work for free for them... Just go back to slavery and get it over with.

EDIT: fat finger fix to add a T to be clear I am talking about the SWIFT system

Fangslash t1_j6kkmxf wrote

Theres no way USD gets abandoned unless the congress went full regard. There is a chance to see a rise for bartering or precious metal trade in worst hitting countries, but everyone else will keep trading in USD - most countries uses USD because it is the single most stable and transparent currency in existence, and thats without the extra stability enhancement from been the most internationally used currency

1

Ok_Edge_1486 t1_j6iwv48 wrote

Have to agree. While the value of the dollar goes lower, people in worse economies being payed worse currency will suffer 2-3x more than Americans as the result of these rate hikes. Just look at Europe. They printed endlessly for so long they're currency lost 3x it's value in a year alone... More pain expected in 3rd world countries and economies with way less stability than the western world...

Wonko-D-Sane t1_j6ito7g wrote

I think the ECB is pretty much a red herring, nobody on this side of the pond really cares or is affected by the Europoors, but BoC just did a 0.25 hike, they tend to be pretty lock step with the US FED, or else the whole country gets fucked given the whole place has a GDP output of a single US state (Texas) and the US is the biggest trading partner. the two economies follow pretty closely and the numbers are showing that Canada is at a breaking point. The BoC has signalled no further hikes.

The US FED doesn't, and shouldn't care about devastation their rate causes to other countries. I don't know if they do 0.5 or 0.25, I couldn't care less. And I think that's really the issue, most people don't, so inflation doesn't care.

The rate hike is completely useless to talk about as long as the bank is meddling and picking who gets money and who doesn't. As long as they are hiking rates, while the geriatrics in congress are pumping money supply by raising the debt ceiling, nobody cares about the rate. The policymaker is not a rational actor, so as disruptive as they may be, planning for it, pretending it matters are a waste of time.

As long as free money is going to someone, capital assets will grow in value and inflation goes up.

The FED is not after inflation, they are after employment... Rate hikes will likely not stop until unemployment is back in the 9-10% range, and good luck since libtard policies have made a two tiered society, the unemployable and people making a bunch of money because they can add.

OutOfBananaException t1_j6jk9i6 wrote

They are after wage growth, and wage growth has been trending down. Unemployment serves as a proxy for wage growth, but if wages cease growing there's no problem with full employment.

It's basically already decided it's .25. But that's not what matters. What matters is if the FED sees its shadow when it comes out of its hole and declares whether or not Spring is coming.

Heavily regarded. Inflation is not coming down because that is not the objective... deflation is a big no-no. Let's look at the last six months... it's up 0.9%... times that by two to make 12 months... you've got 1.8% annualized.

If they did .50bps it would make the fed look like they don't know what they're doing. Well, more obvious they are behind the curve. .25 is likely but JP and fed members will use hawkish tone to keep markets subdued.

Fed did not got name as it is, they start with "F" which also means Fuck Investors for mistakes FED have done or doing. Do anything to achieve there goal of 2%, considering fact 4.5 Trillion dollars dump by Biden and 3.5 Trillion dump by Trump in market. 2% inflation under any circumstances is not achievable.

Also, they are not doing enough to fix supply chain, bringing liquidity down to control and impact business is not a great idea.

I don’t know what ECB will do but FED will raise 25bp. It’s not even a discussion anymore at this point as the FED has been clear on this & inflation is coming down.

Now, will Jpow be a party pooper? I think so – just a month ago, he said he didn’t wanna see any rallies. We’ll stay around 5% for some time before there’ll be rate cuts.

RevolutionaryEnd5293 t1_j6jwouz wrote

I think most people are missing the point,.25 or .50 doesn't matter, liquidity is coming out either way. Higher inflation has the same effect as higher interest rates, both make the stock market way over valued. The longer the market fights the Fed the more severe the consequences. Someone please justify a 19 P/E for the S&P right now, give it your best shot.
