Reminder: US president Biden to meet with Fed chair Powell later today
In his three-part plan outlined yesterday, Biden said that he won’t meddle with the Fed:“First, the Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation. My predecessor demeaned the Fed, and past presidents have sought to influence its decisions inappropriately during periods of elevated inflation. I won’t do this. I have appointed highly qualified people from both parties to lead that institution. I agree with their assessment that fighting inflation is our top economic challenge right now.“As such, it will be interesting to see what they will be discussing today. I mean, there is very little to be said if Biden is going to let the Fed do its job and he has no intentions to interfere. I guess he may seek for more clarification from Powell on the Fed’s plans but that could arguably be done over the phone.I’m inclined to believe that the meeting today has some element of being just for the optics. Let’s not forget, the US midterm elections is now roughly just five months away. Tick tock, tick tock.
ECB’s de Cos: What we can do is to gradually remove stimulus
ECB mandate is to stick with 2% inflation target in the medium-termWhat we can do is to gradually remove stimulusActions will be enough to accommodate to the mandateThere doesn’t seem to be much change to the narrative at least for now. The euro is keeping lower on the day though, down 0.7% against the dollar to 1.0700 currently. The 200-hour moving average at 1.0676 will be a key near-term level to eye for additional support as the dollar holds firmer on the day.
Money markets increase bets on ECB rate hikes after inflation data
Money markets now expect a 115 bps worth of tightening by the ECB by year-end, with 40% odds of a 50 bps rate hike in July. That is seen up from the 110 bps priced in at the end of last week.
However, with headline inflation crossing 8%, it isn’t just so much a story of energy prices surging already. The jump in price pressures is evident across all areas:

The question now is, can the ECB still stick to the script and only hike rates after ending asset purchases in July?If this is their queue to act, then why not next week then? I mean considering all the communication as of late, the imminent rate hike feels like semantics at this point. There’s going to be a lot of built-up pressure in the background surely as to the discussions for why they should wait until July before acting.As such, just be wary that we might get some murmurs about how those discussions are going and that could set up a more nervous backdrop to next week’s meeting. It may not yet be a ‚live‘ one based on what policymakers have told us, but let’s see what the ECB message after today will be to make sure.
