  • September 21 is in the books here on Wall Street, here's the New York Minute.

  • It's been a day dominated by two central banks, neither of which got the reaction, I suspect,

  • they were expecting.

  • First, this is how the yen responded to the bank of Japan's announcement,

  • that it was gonna be targeting the remarkably low level of a zero percent ten-year bond's yield.

  • You would think that was dovish, but they didn't cut rates, which were already negative,

  • and as you can see they actually strengthened the yen.

  • Now, here we have from the Fed, this is how the bond's market responded to the announcement.

  • They weren't raising rates, but the three governors had voted to do so.

  • A very high level of descent, plainly a hawkish hold you would have thought, bond market hover, treated as those dovish.

  • You can see that the stock market really like the afternoon announcement.

  • And in particular emerging markets rallied very strongly.

  • They always like it when the Fed appears to be lineate.

  • Now according to the Fed's official dots prediction, they are going to be raising rates once this year

  • and twice next.

  • This is the probability according to the Fed funds future's market that they actually do that.

  • The market is still fighting the Fed. And that's the New York Minute.
