The net percentage raising worker compensation has surged and is now an all-time high. This has been passed through to via pricing. As wages continue to remain firm, we\u2019d expect this to have staying power, or we\u2019ll continue to see an above average quit rate, due to workers switching jobs chasing pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><b>Feds Response\u2026. Bullard to the Rescue!?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullard is currently a hawk, but he is mostly known for changing his views more quickly and more publicly than other members of the committee. That\u2019s why markets like to follow him\u2014because he can demonstrate where the \u201cleading edge\u201d of the committee discussion is pointing. So, he is the one most likely to support a 50bp move and it would have been a big impediment to that argument if he *didnt* come out in support today. A necessary but not sufficient hurdle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019d like to see 100 basis points in the bag by July 1,\u201d Bullard, a voter on monetary policy this year, said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Thursday. \u201cI was already more hawkish, but I have pulled up dramatically what I think the committee should do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullard\u2019s plan involves spreading the increases over three meetings, shrinking the Fed\u2019s balance sheet starting in the second quarter, and then deciding on the path of rates in the second half based on updated data. He didn\u2019t confirm to a March 50 basis points hike, but he also wasn\u2019t against it. He alluded to deferring to Fed Chair\u00a0Powell\u00a0in leading the discussion. To recall, Powell, at a press conference in January, did not rule out the idea either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fed is currently scheduled to end its asset-purchase program in early March, ahead of the policy meeting. Powell said discussions over shrinking the balance sheet will be held in upcoming gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullard said he would favor significant reductions relative to the pace the Fed was adding to its securities. Prior to its shift to tapering late last year, the Fed was adding a cumulative $120 billion a month in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs a general principle, I see no reason why you can\u2019t remove accommodation just as fast as you added accommodation, especially in an environment where you have the highest inflation in 40 years,\u201d Bullard said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the program will likely begin with just a runoff of maturing securities, Bullard said he would favor a second phase to the program as a contingency. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><b>Market Response to Bullard<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat second part might involve asset sales,\u201d he said. \u201cI would very much like the committee to consider that as a possibility, so we can do that if we need to &#8212; because inflation is not decelerating as we had hoped.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The market sold off hard after Bullard\u2019s comments and yields rose dramatically. The spread between 2s and 10s continues to narrow &#8211; now 45bps. The spread has narrowed by ~70bps since<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> October (4 months<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). In addition, the 2YR Treasury was up 25bps alone yesterday &#8211; the largest move since 2009.
