Another day of money market tighteness, as banks and others again hit the Fed Standing Repo Facility in modest size. Are we finally entering the phase where short-term rates give the Fed pause on further quantitative tightening?

Fed's Waller on all the Fedspeak: “All the public speaking, the speeches, are the way for us to show our diversity of opinions...This is a good thing…Despite people saying it's a cornucopia of noise, it's actually signaling where people stand when you come to the meeting.”

this is very interesting 🤔🤔

I didn't know he is "anti-SEP" 🤔🤔🤔

What was Waller's stance on forward guidance now i wonder... cuz I don't think I have a clear idea

Fed’s Waller said if he could reform the quarterly Fed forecasting process he would “shorten the horizon” and limit it to perhaps just over a year ahead, “that’s as good as we can do.” Also says, “I personally have doubts about whether we should have the SEP at all.”
