A Hawkish Fed Signals Higher Interest Rates Ahead

Yeah, this was a very hawkish Fed meeting, which we saw especially in the dot plot, which is where the Fed officials lay out their forward-looking interest rate expectations.

About half the committee wrote down that they expect the Fed might need to raise rates this year, which is a big shift from March when no one on the Fed's committee –

Warsh did not say much about his own views of the Fed's next move in the press conference, and he did not participate in the dot plot.

It wasn't likely that the Fed was going to raise rates without having signaled that beforehand.

We'll really have to see how the Fed communicates over the next six weeks.

Some of it isn't because the Fed also has 12 regional reserve bank presidents who don't answer to the Fed in Washington.

So we'll have to see how they communicate.

And by the time the July meeting rolls around, we may or may not have a good idea of what exactly is on the table.
