SF / Tyler has what I think is a good question: will The Fed start QE Reverse-Twist… and hike rates to tamp down a resurgent inflation thanks to animal spirits 2.0 prompted by their prior pivot?
JP – it feels to me like they are more reactive to the markets/economy, which is how it should be. The one’s who are full of hot air are Yellen and Powell. Yellen because she is a communist and Powell because he is scared lol.
Believe AudJpy has decent odds to challenge 98.30-40 area eventually where it would be prudent to consider the sell side for positioning even if it inevitably challenges 99 from a longer term viewpoint. Currently 98.05. EurJpy will inevitably trade below 162 looking outward, likely after another short lived bout of buy side interest.
Mary Daly, San Francisco (my home town) FED President is the one to listen to.
She explains very cleanly how, what and why they are implementing the policies they are. The babble is not there. Straight shooter, eloquent, rational, common sense. Bottom line from her is we are not quite there yet for a rate adjustment.
JP – JP – well that is what happened to us when we were stuck at 4% LDR for a year lol. Very large layoff ensued, myself included due to out of balance salary on the high side for my title. Offered a new position but passed.
Regarding Boj –
Ueda is pretty rational in my view though never having met the man. If the 2% is yet to be achieved he should say so. Tempered Usd/Jpy enthusiasm going forward. No way I am on the buy side at these levels.
