Stocks Slide After Fed's Evans Takes October Off Table, Fears China Growth Weakness

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears bad news is bad news again. Fed's Evans just played "bad cop" to any hopeful talking head (Fed's Dudley earlier predicted US rate hike this year), implicitly taking October off the table...

  • *EVANS: POL SHLD BE SOMEWHAT MORE ACCOMMOD THAN SEP SUGGESTS
  • *EVANS: APPROPRIATE FOR FED RATES TO STILL BE SUB-1% AT END-2016
  • *EVANS SAYS SLOWER GROWTH IN CHINA AMONG RISKS TO U.S. INFLATION

The market's reaction to this "way lower for longer" comment was negative.

 

So once again the market has no idea who to listen to and The Fed's communication strategy is entirely FUBAR.

Rate-Hike odds have dropped with January now back below 50%... (note Dec 2016 odds show 17.2% chance that FF >1%)

Eventually everybody will finally understand that the Fed will never raise rates again. By the time they do it will be too late...., for them.

In principal I agree with you, but I think the reality is more or less this:

 

The fed can never tighten for more than 12 months but probably will do a 50 basis hike within the next 12 months.  Its a headfake and they will resume with QE shortly after and the Fed will lose control of the long end of the curve down the road.

This Evans guy is really saying some outrageous things at his talk. Did he take his meds today?

Hi all,

Am new here but was just wondrring: why are equities sliding after this announcement? Wouldn't this generally be a bullish announcement since cheap funding will be available for longer? Or is it indicative of the possibly weaker economy & inflation data?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Because Lockhart said possible hike in October.  The market aka Fed Confidence Index is confused.

Peter Schiff and Richard Duncan are 100% correct.

It's 0 or negative rates and QE until the bottom drops out of the dollar.

At some point the market will force the Fed.  As someone said previously, at that point it will be too late.

EVANS: APPROPRIATE FOR FED RATES TO STILL BE SUB-1% AT END-2016

Is there a space missing? did Evans mean below -1% rates, ie NIRP?
