Powell revealed a dovish tone: interest rates may have reached a peak, and the Fed is paying attention to the liquidity environment
According to Wu Talk, Powell revealed a strong dovish tone at the latest FMOC press conference. First of all, it said that interest rates may have reached a peak, and the Fed will decide when to adjust policy interest rates based on economic data and the need to balance risks; it firmly believes that financial conditions have been tightened enough, and it is expected to start to slow down QT soon. Selectively ignore the resurgence of inflation in January and February, as well as the significant rise in the prices of inflationary assets/risk assets such as crude oil/stocks, and reiterate that inflation is on the way to 2%. At this stage, the Fed is most concerned about the domestic liquidity environment: the risk of "insufficient" liquidity seems to be greater than "excess", especially in a critical election year.

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
