Lou Reed\u2019s lyrics are from the point of a heroin addict waiting for his peripatetic dealer to sell him his next fix.&nbsp; Every six weeks, markets have been going through a similar ritual with the Federal Reserve as they seek another dose of precious liquidity.&nbsp; Unlike the song\u2019s unnamed dealer, Chairman Powell is quite punctual, and lately he has been less forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the table below shows, the S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX) traded lower in the three-day period that followed five of the past six FOMC meeting.&nbsp; In each of those cases, traders were pricing in some sort of dovishness from the FOMC or Chairman Powell, only to have their hopes dashed.&nbsp; In the first two of those cases, SPX closed higher in the immediate aftermath of the meeting only to sink in subsequent days.&nbsp; We have noted before that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/less-goldilocks-more-jackson-hole\/\">traders react while investors consider<\/a>.&nbsp; Traders reacted as they saw accordingly at the time, but investors with cooler heads and longer time horizons took an extra day to digest the news with a less reflexively bullish tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture2-12.png\" alt=\"1 and 3 day changes after previous FOMC Meetings \" class=\"wp-image-175315 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Interactive Brokers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lone exception to that recent pattern was in July 2022.&nbsp; Stocks were bouncing resoundingly off their June lows on hopes that we had seen the bottom for the year (spoiler alert: we hadn\u2019t).&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/fixed-income\/yay-we-might-be-in-a-recession\/\">In the immediate aftermath<\/a> of the Chair\u2019s press conference we noted what sounded like a moderate tone.&nbsp; Markets seized on that as an opportunity to continue their advance.&nbsp; Yet less than a month later, Mr. Powell changed his tone dramatically.&nbsp; His strident speech at the Kansas City Fed\u2019s Jackson Hole conference left no doubt about the Fed\u2019s resolve to continue its policy of rate hikes and quantitative tightening.&nbsp; Our comment at the time was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/goldilocks-stop-doubting-my-resolve-to-cool-the-porridge\/\">\u201cGoldilocks: \u2018Stop Doubting My Resolve to Cool the Porridge.\u2019\u201d<\/a>&nbsp; If we include that harsh rebuke, that makes us 6 for 6 in overshooting the Fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is for this reason that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/big-week-ahead-strategies-for-fomc-payrolls-mega-cap-earnings\/\">we wrote earlier this week<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>My gut says that Powell reverts to \u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/less-goldilocks-more-jackson-hole\/\"><em>less Goldilocks, more Jackson Hole mode<\/em><\/a><em>\u201d, though I\u2019m not sure the market agrees.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been ample evidence that financial conditions have been improving in recent weeks.&nbsp; That is exactly what the Fed is trying to avoid.&nbsp; The point of their rate hikes and quantitative tightening is to tighten liquidity to clamp down on inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture1-22-1100x562.png\" alt=\"securities held on the Federal Reserve Balance Sheet\" class=\"wp-image-175314 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

We\u2019ve seen enough, so we\u2019ll pause our rate hikes with the hope of reversing them within a few months?\u201d&nbsp; Of course not.&nbsp; They may pause in after the next meeting or two, but without clear and lasting evidence that inflation is sustainably around 2%, they are not inclined to reverse those hikes simply because the market wants them to.&nbsp; The only rational reason for them to reverse course would be if a recession forces their hand.&nbsp; That is what the bond market seems to be fearing.&nbsp; Stocks don\u2019t seem to have a similar concern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As before, \u201cDon\u2019t Fight the Fed\u201d and \u201cCareful What You Wish For\u201d should be resonating even as we\u2019re waiting for the man today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve previously suggested that if Chairman Powell had walk-up music, it should be \u201cI\u2019m Waiting for the Man\u201d by the Velvet Underground.
