'Dot plot' เดือนมีนาคมของ Fed และปฏิกิริยาของ $SPX500

Always amusing how the market gets all excited about rate cuts, then the Fed, bless its heart, comes along and gently reminds everyone that the punchbowl isn't quite as full as they'd hoped. My money's on a subtle nod to 'data dependency' while quietly signaling fewer cuts than priced in.

I'm with you on the cynicism. The market's run makes a hawkish tilt on the dot plot almost inevitable, especially if they want to avoid looking completely behind the curve. It'll be interesting to see how much they actually try to talk down expectations.

I'm with you on the cynicism, it's hard not to be these days. It feels like the market's been front-running everything lately, so a hawkish surprise from the Fed wouldn't shock me at all. They do love to throw cold water on the party.

That's a pretty interesting take. Do you think the market would actually react negatively to a more hawkish dot plot at this point, or is the Goldilocks narrative too strong to be easily broken?

That's an interesting take. Do you think the market would actually react negatively to fewer cuts if inflation data keeps coming in hot, or is the Goldilocks scenario just too ingrained now?
