Steve, given I am not

    Steve, given I am not good with macroeconomics I'm hoping you can help.  Is what we are learning within the Fed minutes as well as what is currently being realized with earnings in general demonstrative of the expectations from what Mike Wilson of Morgan Stanley contributed in January?  Thanks for all you and Matt do.  ~Lew

    The minutes are old news

    The minutes are old news since new data arrived following (monthly payroll, CPI, and PPI and upward revisions to previous reports) but traders fixated on FOMC comments - what Mike Wilson is predicting is a earnings recession ahead but thus far the economy has been fairly resilient as the higher rates typically take time to run their course (especially due to all the pent up savings from the stimulus).   Earnings for the quarter have come in below expectations but only slightly thus far.    

    I have attached the link below from Feb 20th comments from Mike Wilson

    Interest rate expectations are rising again after the Fed minutes. The market is now seeing a 26% chance of a 50 bps rate hike in March! There is a 28% chance that rates rise as high as 5.75% by July. 50 bps rate hikes are back on the table.

    Again, thank you!
