JP - It appears to me that she is saying she cut Yellen some slack but there will be no "next time" -- the problem w/ yellen is that she has never been subjected to rigorous cross examination and the quick cut-off of irrelevant commentary in a deposition -- "M'am, just a yes or no will suffice"

nh the policy-making bank collective of cretins speaks true to economists' one one hand and on the other where they do not want to be pinned and be held responsible for an unequivocal stance. Even Yellen insists to be seen as a spokesman on behalf of a collective decision.
In nearly every other profession I can think of in which someone claims higher authority due to degree, diploma or licence their word is deemed to be true(er) than that of a lay person's. But in turn they can be held responsible for their assertions.
That is why these cretins (who are not stupid by virtue of their diplomed education) talk like lawyers who give a legal opinion - which only lays out both sides of the coin like the economists one vs other hand - but extremely rarely and then only extremely carefully and with the approval of the rest of the lawfirm's partners before giving out a advice (for which the fees are multiple many times more than those for an opinion) because to giving out advice is attached responsibility for being right or wrong.
These PhD'ed economists becometh bankers need to feel the heat of personal responsibility / liability. Until then they will have a free romp.

"I do not think the FOMC is behind the curve, but while there are risks to moving too soon, there are also risks to waiting too long to take the next steps on the normalization path given the lags with which monetary policy affects the economy. We live with uncertainty and one could always make the case that we should wait to act until we gather more information. But waiting until every piece of data lines up in the correct way means waiting too long and risks having to move rates up more aggressively in the future, with negative impacts on our economy. Similarly, forestalling rate increases for too long in light of financial market volatility that doesn't affect the outlook may simply produce more volatility in the future if we find ourselves having to increase rates more aggressively than anticipated to achieve our goals."

Pound in serious trouble
"Britain’s current account deficit is the worst ever recorded in peace-time since the Bank of England started collecting records in 1772 under the reign of George III.
Even during the grimmest moments of the First World War it only slightly exceeded the eye-watering figure of 7pc of GDP racked up in the fourth quarter of last year. No other country in the OECD club is close to this....
Lena Komileva from G+Economics said the current account deficit is now so large that it leaves the country vulnerable to external shocks, amplifying the potential impact of Brexit. Britain’s credit-driven consumer credit is “plainly unsustainable”."
Seems the market is only just waking up to the situation. Which is a bit weird, but hey that's how markets work.

For the past few years NFP has been important to markets as a FED response indicator -- But the past six months inflation moved to the top of the list for Fed response --on Tuesday Yellen put inflation in the bag w/ NFP
So we're back to NFP as a GDP economic indicator -- a good number, 225k+ won't affect bonds because rate hikes are off the table but might help STOX and maybe WTI s/t -- a bad number, 145k will pressure both and the USD // even outsized earnings can't move things much beyond an initial pop because Yellen has moved on
Plug factor for NFP is usually lowest than of 3 mo following January so maybe 90k - NFP + 175k, Unempl rate 4.8% and earnings +0.2%

Trading Themes --
- Manufacturing PMIs from the Eurozone. UK and Japan (plus Tankan Survey) should not do much to allay
Chair Yellen concerns about "global headwinds". If she is waiting for a pick up in demand from abroad, it
does not appear that such a change is at hand yet. This could temper a market response to a strong U.S.
employment report if it materializes today.
- The Major focus for trading today is the March employment report. The spotlight is on U.S. Job
creation, average hourly earnings and some other key metrics. No progress on the economy (or inflation)
is expected until wages start to rise. The data are unlikely to impact the April Fed policy decision but
most certainly could impact the value of the USD.
- The new Fed policy of gradual rate hikes should continue to be supportive of equities because it is
an aggressive pro-growth posture. We are wary that the Fed might be inflating an equity bubble.

Don't know why you think a current account deficit is a red herring. Running a large - or in this case record - current account deficit is usually a precursor to a sharp currency adjustment. That is: a sharp devaluation. At the very least it leaves the country in question vulnerable to any loss of confidence by foreign investors. In the case of the UK the BREXIT issue is the catalyst for the change in risk perception. If they stay we could have a GBP recovery but we are some way away from knowing how the vote will go.

I heard the Grifter say
Many, even the brightest and experienced investors, believe central banks and/or their agents, have been manipulating equity markets for the past nearly eight years.
Japan for example makes no bones about buying domestic shares on the open market. The Swiss Central Bank has also admitted doing likewise.
There are others including scattered European member ECB banks and the ECB indirectly.
Also central banks have been steady buyers of other central bank’s equity markets.
And, so it goes.
Today it was revealed by an article in Reuters that some state owned companies have recently purchased over $4 billion of stock in Chinese markets. They have been acting as agents on behalf of the government to support local stock markets.
Why should you care? This manipulation of markets renders them broken and illegitimate from a free market view. It also means investors just become shills in rigged game.
It’s disgusting.
So you’d think I’m upset about current central bank policy experiments? Well, I am, yet I persevere.
The tape is all a technician needs to follow ultimately. Fundamentals make you nothing currently.

The Next Clinton Presidency
Hillary On Area 51 Secrets: 'I Think We Ought To Share It With The Public'
"Hillary Clinton says barring any national security risk, she would like to open up the government files on Area 51 to the public if she is elected president. "I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible," she told Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night on his late night ABC talk show. "If there's nothing there, let's tell people there's nothing there." When Kimmel followed up by asking what she would do if she discovered there was actually something alarming in the files, Clinton replied: "Well, if there is something there, unless it's a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.

Billions in Treasuries for Window Dressing
PS plus the real estate and housing and associated boom cycle businesses, that are going bust, where is was boom in the drill drill here in the US(N.Dakota, Texas) and the tar sands in Canada. They were putting up housing like crazy.
All were holding breath hoping for $50-60 to come back.
