Fed Chair Warsh's latest speech has revived market expectations for a September rate hike after previous soft CPI and NFP prints priced it out. Strong corporate earnings, AI capex, and procyclical fiscal dynamics suggest this hike could be the first of many.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Chair Warsh's recent speech has pushed market pricing back toward a September rate hike following a period where softer NFP and CPI prints had dampened expectations.
- 2.Recent weaker macro data is likely a temporary soft patch rather than a broad slowdown, as strong and broadening corporate earnings and AI capex continue to underpin the economy.
- 3.Procyclical fiscal policy, energy price shocks, and AI demand boosting pressures indicate that an initial rate hike could potentially be the start of a broader tightening cycle.
