Lockhart "September Rate Hike" Comments Send Stocks To 5-Week Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While many hoped that Lockhart would play good cop to Yellen's bad cop, he didn't:

  • *LOCKHART SAYS MARKET'S VIEW FOR SEPTEMBER HIKE 'REASONABLE'

Which has sent stocks reeling back to the levels pre-payrolls in April.

 

 

The Dow is also in the red from pre-Payrolls (with Nasdaq holding on to gains for now)

 

Lockhart had more to say...

  • *LOCKHART SEES REAL ESTATE, STOCK MARKETS SUPPORTING CONSUMPTION (umm ok)
  • *LOCKHART: NOT `INTENSELY CONCERNED' ABOUT STOCK VALUATIONS (jusdt 'concerned' then?)
  • *LOCKHART: WE HAVE NOT SEEN DETERIORATION IN CORE NUMBERS (yes we have!)

He's not lying, he just wants a dip to buy some stawks in before someone can say, "QE4"

Did he say THIS September or September?

Gotta remember that these people use language to obfuscate, not to inform.

They will do a MINIMAL rate increase (1/4%) and then call it good.

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.jobs-review.com

I will be disappointed, yes disappointed, if they don't hike in June.  June 2010 would have been best.

And in September they will be saying a rate hikes beginning in January aren't unrealistic.

yep. this is just creating a self fulfilling prophesy.  markets will dip a bit from ludicrous speed on his comments, which in turn provides the excuse to postpone the hike.

1) there is no markets, only casino

2)they can't raise rates

3) they need raise as low as -6%, so they want to ban cash

You need to analize all their words from this viewpoint

Depends...  how far have the Chinese gone lately

to support US$ reserve currency status???

 

China will do nothing to hurt a good customer,

until their own internal economic pressures say

otherwise.

 

That means, if things are dicey in China the rate

hike WILL come in June.  If not ...yet...

then maybe September ( or later ).

 

Keep in mind, the US$ is no longer the

only game in town... and with competition,

the FEDs don't give a (!) about fundamentals

...if they ever did!

The Dow and the S&P 500 appear to be heading down with authority. New highs for the indexes are not out of the question, but the odds don't look very good at the moment.
