MMM Episode 114: Sam and Eric Ponder Powell’s Parsing and Positioning on Fed Day

After reviewing the May 1-5 performances of stocks (2:38), fixed income (3:50), commodities (5:41) and the week’s macro news, DoubleLine’s Samuel Lau and Eric Dhall take a dive (13:51) into the May 3 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), its policy decisions and guidance as well as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s news conference. Their Fed Day analysis includes some skepticism about Powell’s stated reassurances on the health of the banking system but also some empathy for the economic conjuncture in which Powell finds himself as the Fed seeks to tame inflation.

Looking ahead to the upcoming macro news releases for the market week starting May 8 (31:29), the cohosts single out the April consumer price index, Tuesday May 9; the producer price index, Thursday; the University of Michigan preliminary May consumer sentiment survey, Friday; and Fedspeak events featuring New York Fed President John Williams; Christopher Waller and Philip Jefferson, both members of the Fed’s Board of Governors; and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard.
