So after fed minutes and speeding up of the quantatitve tightening by 2x compared to 2017-2019 period, what are you to expect now?
Did the market really price in that doubling of tightening? I doubt it. We will have to see the next few weeks whether it's really priced in as said by many or they just didn't know what they were talking about. So far it is showing weakness and that based off technicals, the week should end red after the distribution at 15k last week.

Brainard apparently gave a pretty effective vaccine to the markets considering how markets did not have any big moves upon minutes release.
IMO FED minutes was clearly indicating a very un accomodative and hawkish fed whos primary focus is on inflation. A FED that clearly wanted to warn markets of potential headwinds and the potential hard landing as a result of their actions which they are clearly willing to take despite the risks.

Yield curve briefly inverted however many experts do not see recession this time along. Goldman Sachs model predicts a 0 percent probability of recession for this year but a 30%+ chance of one next year. Eurozone recession is very likely though so do expect volatility to remain high throughout the year!

Your Average Trader : IMO markets had already started to price in a more hawkish fed. Some evidence is suggested by Fedwatch - after yesterday's minutes release only an increase of 10% chance of 50 basis point hike expectation from the day before. Further evidence can be directly gotten from bond market itself which didnt seem to have as bad a sell off as compared to the initial 7 rate hike plan came out on March 16th. However that being said whether markets keep being ignorant of potential headwinds or do they actully take the hint only time will tell.
Your Average Trader Investing 101 OP : Ah yea nobody really knew what the exact BS reduction amount was going to be but starting with a mix of Tresuries and MBS was expected. Brainard came in the day before warning markets to not be surprised by big BS reduction. So yea that potentially gave the markets a day to absorb the expectation IMO
