“We need to get more data,” Goolsbee told me. “We need to get the through line. If the through line on inflation is this 4% core inflation, then that's not acceptable. That's not compatible with the Fed target and our policy needs to needs to address that.”

Warsh much more outwardly market focused Fed Chairman than in the past Could have been more deliberate in laying out the reaction function, but he did note what he’s watching so those parameters are good yardsticks for markets to watch

Got much more from Warsh than ever before in his tenure so far as Chair Hinted rates may not be high enough when said he’d be hard pressed to call financial conditions restrictive. Called inflation too high Finally gave an assessment of inflation, the economy and job market

Yahoo! Finance’s @Jenniferisms: “You just said moments ago that no one is above U.S. sanctions. What specific secondary sanctions or penalties is Treasury prepared to levy against Chinese banks and shipping firms if they do not comply? And then secondly, as you look to take these unprecedented sanctions, you’ve also said that the Iran as the Iran conflict fades and oil prices recede, that will help bring down long term bond yields. In the meantime, you have mentioned your toolkit, and I’m curious if you are looking at reducing auction sizes for longer term dated Treasury debt going forward, and what other actions you may consider from that toolkit. Thank you.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Well, why don’t we work backwards? We issued the the quarterly refunding announcement two and a half weeks ago. We are going to continue the with our regular program of auctions, So you will be hearing from us again the at the beginning of next quarter in terms of — as I said, every country, every entity should know that they should be prepared to face U.S. sanctions and the — no one is above this. We are going to hold everyone accountable. And this is asphyxiation, economic asphyxiation of this regime, and, Jennifer, as I said, no one should test our resolve.”

With Treasury taking action to curb higher LT govt bond yields to stop borrowing costs from rocketing I think we can say there's now a Bessent put. Q is are the actions today enough to rein in the bond vigilantes. Will depend on inflation, but govt spend also not coming down

Cleveland Fed president Beth Hammack suggested to me in an ivw she sees more than one rate hike. “I would say in general, one 25-basis point move probably doesn't do a whole lot for the economy. So it's probably some number of movement...I don't know exactly where we will end"
