Nilikua nmengoja hii competition ya #traderske ni waonyeshe dust,,z😂😂

"The ECI print raised the stakes, since the quarterly read beat all estimates and rose at the fastest in a year. It’s going to be very hard for Powell not to lean a bit more hawkish into these figures.” Robert Sockin, Citigroup #Inflation #FOMC #FederalReserve #TradersKE #Powell

@ManuTrexx @wamitheko Kindly don't be confused,the competition is still on but #TradersKE will not be involved,I am sure the relevant sources will clear the air too to avoid this confusion,thank you for your understanding

"The S&P just had its biggest monthly selloff since September, falling 4.16% in April. US Treasuries had their biggest one-month loss in more than a year. Traders are now pricing in barely one rate cut by December." Lisa Abramowicz, Bloomberg #Fed #Inflation #FOMC #TradersKE

"A hotter-than-expected employment cost index, which rose at the fastest pace in a year, is like "a bad dream" for the Fed. Yields on 2-year Treasuries jumped back through 5%." Rob Sockin, Citi Group #Fed #Inflation #FOMC #TradersKE

"The labour market and inflation has not changed sufficiently in recent weeks to suggest overt hawkishness or to bring additional rate hikes back on the table. The hurdle seems very high, even if its not an impossibility." Tim Graft, State Street #Fed #Inflation #FOMC #TradersKE

“If that message (☝️☝️) is dropped, I think it would be a much stronger signal that we have to hold rates higher for longer, with likelihood of no rate cuts this year.” Jonathan Pingle, chief economist at UBS #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell

"If Powell avoids repeating that sentiment this time, it could suggest that the Fed is less likely to reduce its benchmark rate this year." Christopher Rugaber, AP News #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell

"During his last news conference in March, Powell said the Fed’s rate was “likely at its peak” and that, “if the economy evolves broadly as expected, it will likely be appropriate” to start cutting rates this year." Christopher Rugaber, AP News #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell

"Major economic changes typically take time, needing a mix of factors like a spike in commodity prices, renewed wage growth, and public expectations of persistent high inflation." Nick Timiraos, WSJ #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell #Inflation #Economy #Inflation"

"As it stands, it’s still a matter of 'when,' not 'if,' the FOMC will start cutting interest rates. A hawkish pivot, suggesting an increase in rates is more likely than a cut, appears unlikely, for now. " Nick Timiraos, WSJ #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell #inflation

"Powell likely to rule out June cut, but watch for hints on future cuts at post-meeting presser. Any reluctance to suggest cuts are still in the offing for 2024 — such as the use of the word “whether” — might be a clue." Michael Gapen, BofA #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell

“There has been a substantial amount of improvement in the year-over-year pace of inflation, but it has slowed or stalled in recent months.” Ellen Zentner, Morgan Stanley #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell #inflation

"I don't expect officials to change guidance in the statement as the next rate move will be a rate cut. Memorializing it in the statement puts an exclamation point on it.” Ellen Zentner, Morgan Stanley #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell #inflation

"Fed likely to tweak post-meeting statement, acknowledging stalled progress on inflation in Q1, following their preferd measure of inflation;corePCE climbing 0.3% in March. Both core and headline PCE YoY spiked up from previous month." Rymond #Fed #Inflation #FOMC #TradersKE

"In a more hawkish direction, he could hint at a chance of no cuts — or even suggest a hike might be on the table, though not the current baseline.” Bloomberg #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell

"We expect Powell to make a hawkish pivot at the April 30-May 1 meeting. At the minimum, he’ll likely indicate the median FOMC participant now expects ‘less’ cuts this year." Bloomberg #FOMC #Fed #TradersKE #Powell
