“The “drastic” change in the DOT PLOTS also gave MONETARY HAWKS sustenance for an FOMC REVERSAL. The DOLLAR rallied as GOLD, SILVER and all the metals declined in response to the narrative to the end of the flexible adjusted inflation target (FAIT). The thinking goes that the FED will not allow inflation to run hotter for longer as has been the disposition of the market for the previous 10 months.
My sense is that this will not prove out. The massive selloff over Thursday and Friday was the result of the reflation trade being way overleveraged and margin clerks ruled the post-FOMC markets. Let the markets continue to correct for that is all part of being a successful trader.”
