Working our way back to Powell 1hr 5 min Working our way back to Powell The last Fed meeting in June wasn’t a huge market mover in itself, but it paved the way for Powell to talk about points and for the markets to understand just how low the Fed rate hikes should be by another 50bp. Then when the data lined up with Powell’s warnings in late June, prices surged. That was two weeks ago. Last week offered a recovery after CPI and Bond data were content to remain in the sideways range that preceded all of the above.
