Via a JP Morgan note, a shrug of the shoulders:
- what we are seeing now is qualitatively what should be expected after 450bp of rate hikes.
The main points:
- The delayed effects of tight monetary policy is creating the usual stress in financial conditions
- Headwinds to credit growth could subtract 0.5-1.0% off of GDP in coming quarters
- We think this is broadly consistent with our outlook for a Fed-induced recession
- The Fed isn't done, in our view, and we look for another 25bp hike next week, and a final hike in May
-
Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is March 21 and 22.
Remember folks:
