It's officially Fed day.

Markets now see a 93% chance that the Fed will announce its first rate hike since July 2023 today.

In data going back to 2008, whenever expectations of a hike have been this high, the Fed has invariably delivered one.

If the Fed decided to leave interest rates unchanged today, it would mark the biggest dovish surprise at a scheduled policy meeting since 1994.

However, it's a particularly unusual time right now.

Fed Chair Warsh was appointed by President Trump just months ago with the expectation that he would CUT rates.

Now, markets expect Warsh's first change to the Fed Funds Rate to be a hike.

There were three consecutive 25-basis-point cuts in 2025

People think the Fed could wipe all of that out as early as December of this year.

Only oil prices are driving CPI?

How are oil prices driving employment? It's not oilfield workers because 98% of new jobs went to women.

Did anyone ever fact check that. It just seems statistically impossible, but who knows?

I actually think so too but only because I imagine Trump and Bessent are putting pressure on Warsh behind the scenes

Bessent may punch Warsh like he did Pulte

Trump will fire the Fed chairman because of his disloyalty.

Dropping rates would spur a housing boom, which would in turn give the economy a positive jolt. Cant have any of that so theyre gonna raise rates and pretend their actions are going to matter in any way whatsoever with regards to inflationary impact.

An estimated deficit of ~$2T will do that.

At most they would only cut rates .25bps at a time. Nothing that will cause a sudden housing boom

Do we think we would be better off if Congress or the treasury was in charge of monetary policy?

Our dollar is cooked.
Might have to justify high oil prices as the petro dollar needs the trading.

That's a good question but the only real fix would have to come from some sort of balanced budget amendment (even if it's just that Congress must get spending approval from the Treasury under x circumstances).
