Is this why the ‘data dependent’ Fed is suddenly so keen to hike rates?
For the first time since April 2012, The Fed’s preferred inflation indicator – the so-called Personal Consumption Expenditure Deflator – has topped 2% (The Fed’s mandated goal).
So unless The Dow drops by more than 3%, The Fed will keep hiking based on this ‘data’, no matter what the rest of the economy is doing.
