Summary: 50 BPS in March now likely
Good Morning,
“The latest economic data have come in stronger than expected, which suggests that the ultimate level of interest rates is likely to be higher than previously anticipated," was the phrase that shook markets yesterday.
The expectation of a 50 BPS hike on March 22 soared from 20% to 65% and the peak rate rises to 5.65%, 2 year yields rise to above 5%. The USD Index jumps from 104.10 to 105.75.
EURUSD is now at 1.0535, GBPUSD 1.1824 USDJPY 137.66 and Gold and Silver dropped to 1812 and 20.05. Gold is at support level, is we break lower, 1750 would be the next strong level, Silver 18.75.
Equities dropped with the Dow down 1.7% the S&P 500 1.5% and the Nasdaq 1.25%. The Ger40 receded from near 15700 to 15520.
Today’s agenda is thin again except for the Fed`s beige book being released at 20:00. One can assume that the data was known to Powell before yesterday’s speech so I would not expect any disinflationary content.,
Traders will digest the new levels and adjust positions today and focus on the Q&A session with Powell.

A new fragmented world order can render some of today's infrastructure obselete, but it also calls for massive new investments across the globe, which requires a new set of strategic and tactical investment strategies.
Steen Jakobsen,
Chief Investment Officer
As globalisation turns to fragmentation, China seems set on playing a role in the global economy, while simultaneously working towards proofing its own economic situation from external shocks and crises.
Redmond Wong,

The recent bank runs and ensuing challenges are reminicent of something we've seen before. Will it end like the S&L crises of 1986 and 1995?
