on one slide in his presentation:
- "Since modern central banks have more credibility than their counterparts in the 1970s, it appears that both the Fed and the ECB may be able to disinflate in an orderly manner and achieve a relatively soft landing,"
- The US central bank has developed over time respect for its ability to tame price increases ...

did bullard review his powerpoint presentation ?
sounds discombobulated:
-
Fed’s Bullard says
- soft landing is feasible in the U.S.
- U.S. can conquer high inflation and avoid a recession
- points to expectations that inflation will fall in the ‘months and years ahead’
- noted that inflation expectations by investors and consumers reflect the view that high inflation won’t persist for a long time.
- “Markets presently expect inflation to come under control in the quarters and years ahead,”

CB 22:35 I could accept that as reasonable probability argument.
The belligerence's timing appears to be Washington's.
Beyond the public blather emanating from pelosi and her wahs compatriots, if you refer to my 08:47 aug 2 I suspect that an attempt at 'leadership regime change' is in initiated stage. IF my suspicion is correct, then Xi is naturally pizzed off to the Nth degree.
Chinese Art of War talks about such things as timing, choice of terrain and other "art"ful tactics. I expect china not be in a hurry to do something rash coz beyond injured ego they dont need to. they can play the long game and extract their pound of flesh later, at a more effective time for them and more inconvenient for washington. I suspect the likes of sullivan and his crew be on "attention" radar.
It looks, smells and sounds as war for regime change.

Update(1545ET): It's the middle of the night local time, but China has announced the foreign ministry has summoned US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns in order to "protest" Pelosi's landing in Taiwan, where she's due to meet with Tsai Ing-wen in the morning. This as PLA military drills surrounding the self-ruled island are reported to be ongoing, including 'live fire' exercises.
According to a readout in state-run Global Times, "China's Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng summoned US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns overnight to protest against US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan island late Tuesday night, stressing that the nature of Pelosi's visit is extremely vicious and the consequence is very grave. The Chinese side will not sit idly by."
Further GT writes, "Noting that the US government should have restrained Pelosi's unscrupulous move and prevented her from going against the historical trend but instead indulged her and colluded with her, which exacerbates the tension in the Taiwan Straits and seriously damages China-US ties, Xie said the US must pay the price for its own mistake. China will take necessary and resolute countermeasures and we mean what we say."
This "pay the price" warning will likely only be revealed in full, in terms of the options Beijing has in store for both Washington and Taipei, in the coming days or even weeks after Pelosi departs tomorrow. (ZH)

Cleveland Fed's Loretta Mester said she saw "no signs of a recession" offering no dovish pivot signal by noting that "we have to get inflation under control."
To really drive the point home, Mester concluded that she "hasn't seen anything suggesting inflation is leveling off."
It wasn't until Mester's words that stocks paid attention, puking back all the "well, China didn't invade" relief rally...

Yesterday, in our private twitter account for subscribers, we said that "if we can avoid a Pelosi World War, the buying impulse from CTAs and buybacks will only intensify", a view which was echoed this morning by JPM which said that "If There Is No Immediate Chinese Reaction To Pelosi Landing, Markets Rip Higher."
Well, now that Pelosi has landed and there are no mushroom cloud-shaped explosions, the only explosion is in the market where spoos just hit 4,136 and about to take out the Monday highs of 4,147...

The flailing US --where President Biden has Covid (again) and is in one technical definition of recession-- can't back down as it tries to rebuild its leading role in Asia: if Pelosi doesn’t go to Taiwan, China will have ‘proven’ that it is able to control access to it, a red line which it would from then on likely enforce.
