A snippet from Bank of America on Federal Reserve Chair Powell's news conference that follows the Federal Open Market Committee statement on Wednesday this week.

  • Perhaps the most interesting moment at the press conference will be his response to a question about whether a 75bp hike is on the table.
  • We think he will read a carefully crafted response, suggesting it is possible, but not likely.

The press conference will most likely be much more interesting than the statement.

Its gonna be a big hump day this week!
