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.

U.S. Treasury bonds suffered their worst single-day sell-off in nearly 18 months: surging oil prices, explosive PMI data, hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve, and a lackluster 5-year Treasury auction combined to create four simultaneous negative factors. The 10-year yield broke above 5.1%, reaching a new high since 2007; the market's probability of another rate hike in October soared to 68%, and the swap market is now pricing in expectations of three rate hikes over the next year. Analysts believe that more than 80% of this sell-off is driven by real interest rates, with the 30-year mortgage rate surpassing 7% and doubts persisting about the effectiveness of the Treasury’s buyback plan.
