(Bloomberg) -- The Fed’s omission of “somewhat” in part of its inflation assessment simply acknowledges that inflation has come down, Charles Schwab analyst Kathy Jones said in a Bloomberg TV interview.
- Fed will still hike rates at modest pace, shows “clear eagerness” to start balance sheet runoff; markets had expected more hawkishness in statement
- Concerned about market’s “complacency”; VIX index “really low,” MOVE index at lowest level since tracking started in 1998, credit spreads “really tight”
- If dollar starts to rebound as Fed tightens and trims balance sheet, there could be “some vulnerability” in EM credit’s “really tight spreads”
- Next Fed chair may be neither Yellen nor Cohn; “I think they may go for a more conventional pick”
