Dudley Just Killed The Rate Hike: "September Less Compelling; I Hope We Can Raise Rates This Year"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Goodbye September rate hike. From the much anticipated Dudley Q&A:

  • DUDLEY: CASE FOR SEPT RATE HIKE LESS COMPELLING
  • DUDLEY:INTNL DEVELOPMENTS TIGTHEN FINL CONDNS, MAY HURT ECON
  • DUDLEY: RATE HIKE CASE COULD BE MORE PANICKY BY SEPT FOMC
  • DUDLEY SAYS INTL DEVELOPMENTS HAVE RAISED DOWNSIDE RISKS
  •  10:36 08/26  DUDLEY: HAVE TO CONSIDER INTNL DEVELOPMENTS; CAN AFFECT ECON

Transitory:

  • DUDLEY: EXPECTS DOLLAR, OIL EFFECTS TO BE TRANSITORY ON U.S. INFLATION

On inflation:

  • DUDLEY: LOW INFL APT TO BE TRANSITORY

Because it is only a matter of time before the money paradrops begin?

  • DUDLEY: US DATA GOOD, BUT CAN'T JUST LOOK AT DOMESTIC DATA

Yes, have to also look at domestic stocks. Oh but wait:

  • DUDLEY: I DON'T HAVE A VIEW ON WHY THE STOCK MARKET IS DOING WHAT IT IS DOING
  • DUDLEY: STOCK DROP HAS LITTLE S-TERM EFFECT ON U.S. ECON

And the punchline:

  • DUDLEY: I REALLY HOPE WE CAN RAISE RATES THIS YEAR

But the markets won't allow us.

TSYs jumping on the news, USDJPY dumping on USD weakness with stocks shocked, and waiting until the algos reverse the correlation trackers so tthey can push stocks higher on a weaker dollar, resulting from this latest admission of Fed policy failure.

They sure TALK a lot about raising rates, but they will never actually raise rates.

Translation:  There may not be a rate hike in September

BUT..  Inflation will be back soon so expect a rate hike in October.

Duh

Your record of predicting rates hikes has been perfect...

 

 

So far; you've predicted about 13 of the last 0 rate hikes...

Overheard at FED meeting:

"OK, the rate increase nonsense no longer has any traction. So the new kabuki is 'QE or no QE'.  You've been given your assignments as 'doves' or 'hawks'.  Make sure your talking points match your assignments, OK, people?  No need for any unplanned melt-downs or melt-ups.

I've got a call into the media......."

He's just jawboning the economy gas meter (markets) up so the banks don't have to pay interest on savings.

Have to keep the dream of "home ownership" alive for the N.A.R. and the children.

The perception of worth and retirement so much more important than reality.

Got to keep the hamsters on the wheel!

    No rate hike for years as US debt is just too high to tolerate a rate hike. Federal debt and unfunded liabilities are over $1,720,000 per taxpayer

    By comparison, Greek debt is $65,000 per taxpayer

    No rate normalization during my lifetime Bernanke

    "And the punchline:

    Yes, have to also look at domestic stocks."

    That's so absolutely dead-on it it literally hurts.  There has been NO meaningful downturn in economic data the last 3 days (that will come later).  But apparently they're going with the "we need to manage the world, not just the US" excuse route.

    Excellent quote here, sam i am, from The Saker:

    “Another Quantitative Easing (the Federal Reserve buying up the market and Corporate buybacks) to keep the market up would finally and completely expose the game for what it is – the fiscal plundering of America.

    “I really wish that markets could stay up for a little longer, though. The main reason is this public embarrassment is pushing the US government and local corporate media to search for more enemies. They have already placed the blame for the crash on China. I am confident they will find the way to blame Russia also.”

    Thanks.

    we all know that there will never be a real rate hike in our lifetimes.

     

    if the fed was smart ( which they are far from) they would go ahead and raise rates in september, bc the ''market'' is already collapsing on its own, and maybe some sheeple would believe the fed did not bring the collapse upon us.

    I think two things may be weighing on Fed policy makers that they aren't talking about:
    1) Reverse "wealth effect". With financial markets in turmoil, correction, or bear, consumers may tighten spending for the rest of the year, contributing to a slow down.
    2) Loss of capital gains revenue for 2015, causing the treasury to have to issue more debt, in an environment where large holders have reduced their appetites and in some cases ( http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-25/devaluation-stunner-china-has-d... ) are actually putting more back onto the market.

    You know, there are times when  some people are really worthy of a second look. One is Schiff, who admittedly has been wrong (or too early) about things, but stands out in my mind as the one who has repeatedly declared that the FED can not raise interest rates. He has taken a beating, but might still make a comeback.

     

    Out of the blue, Jimmy Carter comes to mind, and who despite being a weak president, presiding over inflation and the greatest statistical misery index, somehow looks better and better in my mind for his decency, honesty, humility ( and even with metastatic melanoma, still trying to teach Sunday School) when you look at the Clintons, the Lerners, Holders, the Blackfeins and all the creeping, slimy,  scum that crawls over the earth these days.

    I'd love to see one of these assclowns come out on TV and say, "It's all a big scam. We're a skimming operation, just like the mob. We could raise rates, but we'd just have to lower them again."

    "Keep paying those taxes, folks, we love your fake money. Thanks for playing."

    That would make my day, if not my whole year.
