    Reactions pretty muted after the comments from Yellen. The yields and the dollar actually moved a little lower even after Yellen put the rate hike this month on the table. Unless we have an extremely bad jobs report next Friday, looks like we will see a hike this month

    • YELLEN: MARCH HIKE APPROPRIATE IF ECONOMY EVOLVES AS EXPECTED
    • YELLEN SEES NO EVIDENCE FED HAS `FALLEN BEHIND THE CURVE
    • YELLEN SAYS RISKS FROM ABROAD `APPEAR TO HAVE RECEDED SOMEWHAT
    • YELLEN CALLS HIRING QUITE SOLID, ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
    The last week has seen March rate-hike odds suddenly explode from low 20s to over 90% as Harker, Dudley, Williams, Bullard, Kaplan, Brainard, and Powell unleashed hawkish hell. However, this morning Fed's Evans noted the need for accomodation, and Bullard was notably dovish, as the market prepares for Yellen to either prick the Trump bubble or play along.

    [​IMG]

    The hawkish parade:

    03/02: Powell: MARCH RATE INCREASE IS ON TABLE FOR DISCUSSION, THREE RATE INCREASES STILL FEELS RIGHT THIS YEAR but (ASSET PRICES HAVE HAD QUITE A RUN)

    03/01: Brainard: RATE HIKE 'WILL LIKELY BE APPROPRIATE SOON', B/SHEET POLICY TRANSITION WARRANTED AS RATES RISE

    03/01: Kaplan: ECONOMY IS STRONG ENOUGH FOR GRADUAL RATE RISES, MKT ANTICIPATING PROBABILITY OF INTEREST-RATE INCREASES

    02/28: Bullard: SAYS 'AGNOSTIC' WHEN THE ONE HIKE WILL OCCUR, FED HAS ESSENTIALLY ACHIEVED ITS DUAL MANDATE

    02/28: Williams: STARTING HIKES SOONER WOULD GET US TO BASELINE FASTER, DOESN'T SEE NEED TO DELAY ON HIKING, I DON'T THINK THE STOCK MARKET IS WAY OUT OF WHACK

    02/28: Dudley: SAYS FED DOING PRETTY WELL ON TWO MANDATED GOALS, CASE FOR TIGHTENING HAS BECOME A LOT MORE COMPELLING, RELATIVELY NEAR FUTURE

    02/28: Harker: 3 INTEREST-RATE HIKES ARE APPROPRIATE THIS YEAR, U.S. ECONOMY IS MORE OR LESS `BACK TO FULL HEALTH'
