Today’s New York Dow continues to fall slightly. The Nasdaq rose slightly into positive territory. It seems that concerns about the prolonged interest rate hike have increased.
At the Senate Banking Committee hearing on the previous day, Powell showed an aggressive stance of tightening monetary policy, but in congressional testimony on the 8th, he said, “No decision has been made on the pace of rate hikes,” but “data “Given all of this, we stand ready to increase the pace of rate hikes if more rapid tightening is warranted.” He repeated this message in his testimony on Wednesday, but said he tweaked the pre-prepared manuscript to include the phrase “Nothing has been decided.”
The final decision on whether to raise interest rates by 0.25 points or 0.5 points at the FOMC, which will be held for two days until the 22nd of this month, will largely depend on the US employment data to be released on the 10th and next week’s inflation indicators (CPI, etc.). explained that it would be On the other hand, the US ADP employment statistics for February announced last night showed an increase of 242,000, exceeding market expectations of 200,000, indicating a still tight labor market.
In the CME interest rate futures market, expectations for a 0.50 percentage point rate hike at the next FOMC jumped from 70.5% the day before to just under 80% in the CME interest rate futures market, influenced by the chairman’s hawkish remarks every day. This year’s interest rate level is likely to be higher than expected, and the final destination (terminal rate) seems to be priced at 5.5% to 5.75%.
