Summary:  What the Fed


Good Morning

Jackson Hole is over and Powell remained dovish as anticipated. The curious occurrence was that just before the beginning of Powell’s speech, Mester and Kaplan came on the wires with rather hawkish tones stating the time for tapering was now and that the bond purchases should be reduced to zero in eight months. This spooked traders somewhat, but markets recovered once Powell confirmed his dovish tones basically stating the economy was on  track and that the start of tapering could turn out to be appropriate this year still. The comments just before Powell hint at dissonance within the FED.

The S&P 500 reached new records and closed up 0.88% and 1.23%, the Dow gained 0.69%.

Stocks to watch were workday and Nvidia gaining 9 and 2.6% respectively. Workday had good results and Nvidia is seeking EU approval to take over ARM.

Curious was news on the IPO plan for Rivian Automotive which is seeking USD 80 bio in valuation which caused Elon Musk to comment on the outlandish expectation, he suggested he company should sell at least one car for every billion in valuation sought.

In FX the USD strengthened on Friday after the comments by Bullard and Mester, then fell against most currencies. The USD Index rose to 93.18 before dropping to 92.60, now 92.62. the 50d moving average is current support at 92.55. EURUSD fell to 1.1733 before rising to above 1.18, currently 1.1800. Gold and Silver broke initial resistance at 1810 and 24. It will be intersting if we take the next levels as well. EURUSD : 1.1810 then 1.1845 Gold : 1835 and Silver 24,00 then 24.50. US 10 Year Yields fell to near 1.3%.

Today is a UK Holiday, key events this week will be German and EU inflation, international PMI data and most important the US Nonfarm Payroll on Friday. A higher than feared German and European inflation will increase Pressure from the Bundesbank on the ECB to act as inflation fears are extremely high in Germany and the current only mandate of the ECB is price stability, the ECB cannot justify the job market as second metrics like the fed can.

Trade safely.
