Uneventful Fed Day, Bonds Eventually Agree
Uneventful Fed Day, Bonds Eventually Agree
There's never a way to know with certainty that a Fed announcement will be uneventful, but if we had to assign relative probabilities, today's looked much more likely than normal to pass without a trace. In the immediate wake of the announcement, that didn't look like it was going to happen. Bonds sold quickly due to what seemed to be a notable verbiage change. Then in the press conference, Powell clarified the verbiage change and bonds unwound their initial reaction. MBS and Treasuries thus ended the day perfectly in line with pre-Fed levels, like it never even happened.
