Fed’s Collins: I would think some additional policy tightening is warranted soon

  • Possible Fed may ahve to raise more than expected
  • Best care scenario is ‘careful adjustment’ of mon pol
  • Labor market appears on solid footing
  • The future direction of mon pol is clear
  • Recent inflation data less promising than I hope
  • Inflation is too high and appears to be broadening

I don’t see any way the Fed doesn’t hike in December and now the market sees a 75% chance of back-to-back hikes. Today, Bank of America forecast back-to-back to back hikes in Dec, Jan and March.
