Price stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve and serves as the bedrock of our economy. Without price stability, the economy does not work for anyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chairman then continued with a terse set of comments that built upon that early premise.&nbsp; About eight minutes later he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/speech\/powell20220826a.htm\">concluded with this<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe are taking forceful and rapid steps to moderate demand so that it comes into better alignment with supply, and to keep inflation expectations anchored. We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, unlike last time, the parade of Fed Governors seems to share the Chairman\u2019s message.&nbsp; Any disagreement is about specific rate targets and the pace of tightening, not about whether those will persist, let alone when they will reverse course.&nbsp; Still, Fed Funds futures continue to show that rates will peak at about 4% in March, then a slight likelihood that they will decline thereafter.&nbsp; A quarter-point cut is priced in for June 2023.&nbsp; The implication behind that assumption must be that a severe recession will force the Fed to reverse course, or perhaps that the Fed will be so successful in stamping out inflationary expectations that they can change their minds.&nbsp; The former could have dire consequences, while the latter seems like a remote possibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/can-goldilocks-in-a-suit-keep-the-bears-away\/\">In yesterday\u2019s piece<\/a> we created a tongue-in-cheek decision rubric that took aim at traders\u2019 tendency to take away the positives from \u201c<a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/goldilocks-is-a-68-year-old-man-in-a-suit\/\">Goldilocks in a Suit<\/a>\u2019s\u201d comments.&nbsp; At first, that appeared to be the case.&nbsp; As Powell\u2019s comments hit the wires, the first reaction was sharply negative.&nbsp; Then, somehow, stocks rallied back to a slight gain.&nbsp; Buy the dip?&nbsp; Sell the rumor, buy the news, despite having bought the rumor yesterday?&nbsp; At the time, I jested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/can-goldilocks-in-a-suit-keep-the-bears-away\/\"><em>Using yesterday&#8217;s rubric<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/speech\/powell20220826a.htm\"><em>what he said<\/em><\/a><em>: &#8220;Restoring price stability will take some time and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and supply into better balance.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/speech\/powell20220826a.htm\"><em>What they heard<\/em><\/a><em>: &#8220;At some point&#8230;it likely will become appropriate to slow the pace of increases.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, maybe because cooler heads prevailed, or maybe because of the solidarity between the Chair and his colleagues, stocks continued their declines.&nbsp; It was clear that most traders heard nothing in the speech that would spark a continuation of yesterday\u2019s rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, today\u2019s decline 2% decline in SPX looks much more severe because of yesterday\u2019s 1.4% rally.&nbsp; The old adage of \u201cdon\u2019t short a dull tape\u201d was put into practice yesterday.&nbsp; We failed to sell off, so the next move was higher.&nbsp; That\u2019s normal, that\u2019s trading.&nbsp; But in a market that already saw volume depressed by summer vacations, the sparse liquidity ahead of a major speech allowed a minor bounce to become a major leap higher.&nbsp; The following chart shows not only today\u2019s 10AM head fake, but also that the bulk of today\u2019s decline is merely retracing yesterday\u2019s late, low volume rally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"761\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-82.png\" alt=\"SPX \" class=\"wp-image-154827 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-82.png 975w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-82-700x546.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-82-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-82-768x599.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 975px;
