I think is a necessary trick, but the intelligent ppl must wait to assess the reaction (> 6mth) and not adjust the rate again too soon like former chair Alan G.

FOMC consensus points to a half-point rate hike, with more to come if the Fed seeks to push benchmark rates to 2.5% by year-end, he added.</p><p>The question isn&#39;t whether the Fed needs to be hawkish, it&#39;s &#34;only a debate as to what the right hawkish approach is,&#34; wrote Evecore ISI&#39;s Krishna Guha and Peter Williams in a note to clients.</p><p>The strength of the labor market supports the expected larger-than usual hike. On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Labor said job openings in March reached 11.5M, the highest since it started collecting the data in 2000, from 11.3M in February. The job openings rate of 7.1% edged up from 7.0% in the previous month.</p><p><b>Balance sheet matters:</b> The rate hikes &#34;will occur as the Fed simultaneously embarks on the long-awaited reduction in its balance sheet, which we think will shrink by nearly $3T through the end of 2024, from $8.93T today.&#34; wrote RSM chief U.S. economist Joseph Brusuelas in a note. He also expects the Fed to increase its policy rate to at least 2.5% by year-end.</p><p>So far, the Fed appears only willing to let maturing Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities run off of its balance sheet.

Not likely.</p><p>&#34;We think the Fed recognizes that the war/Europe and China/Covid lockdowns are important and present risks to both growth and inflation,&#34; said Evercore ISI&#39;s Krishna Guha and Peter Williams. &#34;But the FOMC will stay focused on upside domestic inflation risk, respond up-front to potential further global inflation pressures and respond to spillovers from global growth weakness and related FCI tightening only as it materializes.&#34;</p><p>For U.S. households, the implications of the rate increases are clear-cut. Borrowing will cost more and savings will earn more. &#34;This hints at the steps households should be taking to stabilize their finances – pay down debt, especially costly credit card and other variable rate debt, and boost emergency savings. Both will enable you to better weather rising interest rates, and whatever might come next economically,&#34; said Bankrate&#39;s McBride.</p><p>For banks, higher rates increase their net interest income, but &#34;the rapid rise in the back end of the (yield) curve has hit GAAP book value,&#34; wrote a group of equity analysts led by Betsy Graseck. In addition, tighter financial conditions would ultimately slow loan growth. And the Fed shrinking its balance sheet will slow deposit growth as well. In addition, the sharply higher rates will hit banks&#39; capital ratios.</p><p>As such, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> analysts are reducing their stock buyback estimates for banks. &#34;We believe management teams will be more conservative with share repurchases going forward. We are reducing our buybacks for the rest of 2022 by 40%,&#34; they said.</p><p>SA contributor John M.
