A ‘firestorm’ of hawkish Fed speculation erupts following strong U.S.


How hawkish will the Federal Reserve be this year?

At the moment, Wall Street economists seem to be telling their clients “more hawkish than we thought five minutes ago.”

The strong U.S. consumer inflation data reported Thursday has set off what looks like a chain reaction of upward revisions to projected interest rates rises and where the Fed is headed with monetary policy.

Fed watchers are talking seriously about an “emergency” interest rate hike before the Fed’s next formal meeting on March 16.

The consumer price index rose 0.6% in January, with broad based gains. The year-over-year rate rose to 7.5%, the highest level in 40 years.

March Chandler, forex analyst for Bannockburn Global Forex, said it will be difficult for Fed officials to get ahead of the curve of expectations.

It is a strange time for the Fed. The central bank has been slowly “tapering” or reducing the amount of securities is is buying under its quantitative easing program started in the depth of the pandemic. The buying of Treasurys and mortgage backed securities is scheduled to end in mid-March.

Some Fed watchers think the Fed may decide to end these purchases “cold turkey,” with the announcement coming Friday.

Under the Fed’s QE program, the Fed is scheduled to release its schedule for the last month of asset purchases.

“If the Fed releases that calendar at 3 p.m, it is pretty strong forward guidance they’re not going to do an intermeeting hike,” Cabana said.

Cabana said he didn’t expect a rate hike before the March 16 meeting. He suggested that investors who want to bet on an intermeeting hike would be better positioned to play for a 75…
