However, the suspension of rate hike in June does not mean that rate hike has stopped since then, and other officials have expressed support for continuing the rate hike.
Bostic, chairman of Atlanta Federal Reserve, said that inflation may be more sticky than the market thinks, the unemployment rate is the lowest level in more than 50 years, the economy is very strong, the Federal Reserve may suspend in June, and it may be more inclined to further rate hike rather than cut interest rates in the future, and it is not expected to cut interest rates this year.
Williams, the "No.3 person" of the Federal Reserve and chairman of the Federal Reserve of New York, delivered a speech before Powell's speech, indicating that the epidemic "has not changed the model estimation of neutral interest rate".
Mester, chairman of the Cleveland Fed, based on the data I have so far, considering that inflation has been so stubborn, for me, I don't think the probability of Federal Funds rate rising and falling in the next step is equal.
Dallas Fed Chairman Logan said that the current economic data cannot rule out the possibility that the central bank will continue to rate hike at the next meeting, and Logan said that inflation still has a long way to go to return to the target level.
This means that the market is already Price-in, which is likely to be too optimistic. Once the CPI data (especially the core CPI) in May continues to show strong stickiness, the rate hike channel may continue to exist.
Second, the market thinks that the debt ceiling problem is just a bipartisan tug and will be solved eventually.The U.S. government will usher in the debt ceiling X day, and an agreement must be reached before June 1. However, because Biden will attend the G7 meeting, the negotiations were suspended last week.
And Biden's follow-up negotiations after returning to the United States from the G7 summit. Once the debt ceiling crisis is resolved, the U.S. Treasury Department will return to borrowing more than one trillion dollars to make up its cash reserve (TGA) account.
