Intraday Commentary from Jim Bianco
Massive reversal in the last 30 minutes on this headline:
*FED’S WILLIAMS STILL SEES ROOM FOR A NEAR-TERM RATE CUT
Here are the headlines from the Fed Speak yesterday:
- Fed’s Goolsbee Says Uneasy ‘Front Loading’ Cuts Amid Inflation
- Fed Fractures Deepen as Barr Signals Inflation
- Fed’s Paulson Says She’s Cautious on December Rate Decision
Updating the Fed speak the last few weeks:
- 5 Voters have strongly signaled they do not want to cut rates (Barr, Musalem, Schmid, Goolsbee, Collins)
- 5 Voters signaled they want to cut rates (Miran, Waller, Bowman, Williams, Cook)
- 2 Voters are unknown (Powell and Jefferson)
If the Fed is truly becoming independent, then it should be a 7-5 vote … either way.
