False hawks show a small pigeon
Federal Reserve Board Governor Christopher Waller and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, two of the most vocal Fed policymakers about raising interest rates, cut expectations Thursday for a 100 basis point rate hike later this month. The prospect of a point price increase fully rose on Wednesday after the hot June CPI report and Atlanta Federal Reserve Chairman Raphael Bostik’s statement that “everything is in the works.”

Waller said Thursday that 75 basis points remains the “base case” for a rate hike at the July 26-27 meeting, and says “markets may have gotten a little bit ahead of themselves” on 100 basis points, though he did not rule out a “bigger” move. .
Bullard told the Nikkei that he favored a move of 75 basis points, which he said would bring the Fed funds rate to a “neutral” level. He said more tightening was needed, but “we can assess” as the year goes on.
Ahead of the opening, the Producer Price Index unexpectedly accelerated in June to a sharp 11.3% higher than a year earlier. But core inflation slowed more than expected. Notably, core PPI rose 0.4% from the previous month, cooling off May’s 0.7% gain. This was in contrast to the core CPI, which is showing accelerating gains from month to month.
Markets are now pricing in a 57% probability that the Fed will raise interest rates by 75 basis points. On Wednesday, the odds of a full point rise rose to 80% from about 8% the day before.

Market Rise Analysis
For the second session in a row, the major indexes fell sharply in the morning but quickly rebounded, with the Nasdaq turning positive in the afternoon. On Thursday, the Nasdaq managed to post slight gains, while the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Russell 2000 indexes fell for the fifth consecutive session.
All major indices fell sharply during the week, which started with the Nasdaq hitting resistance again at the 10-week moving average. All indicators are below their 21 day moving averages.
After trending lower for several sessions, maybe the ‘uptrend is under pressure’ due to the rebound. But it doesn’t have to happen any time soon, and Thursday’s rush from the lows may have been the “rebound”.
Arguably, the leading indicators are range-bound, with highs in early or late June indicating a top, and lows in mid-June indicating a bottom. There is a lot of fluctuation within this range.
As earnings season rages on, adding to the whirlwind of inflation, stagnation and Fed uncertainty, volatility appears to be rising in the market and individual stocks are likely to continue.
