Harker reminds markets of the hawkish side | Forexlive

Let’s face it…. the markets are really sensitive and that leads to weak hands on the upside and the downside.

Fed’s Harker brought the markets back to reality saying that inflation will be around 4% next year and 2024 at 2.5%. Both are probably above the bulls expectations who see inflation moving down.

Josh Brown, put things into perspective on CNBC saying a year ago, we could draw a picture of an ape and sell it for $600,000. That was the money sloshing around. So… yes the story line has changed and so has the markets sensitivity to the ebbs and flows.
