Quick thoughts on Yellen at Jackson Hole - markets really not listening, but risks rising

a) Much the same as we have been hearing from Dudley, Fischer, Mester, Lockhart, Kaplan and the ever hawkish George- case for rate hike has strengthened, due to labour, inflation and CPI data - absolutely no surprise, though it should be noted that the amount of Fed speakers pounding the pavement for a potential Sept rate hike is very notable, much higher than would normally be associated with a more cerebral symposium on long-term perspectives for monetary policy. I would also suggest that it is becoming increasingly clear that among the Triumvirate that runs the FOMC (chair, vice-chair and NY Fed president), Yellen is clearly playing second fiddle to Fischer and Dudley - this is unusual. Markets have nevertheless ignored this and now imply a 24/26% chance of a Sept rate move vs. 32% this morning, with December at 54.6% vs. 57.4% this morning.

b) On the longer-term aspects of the Fed's monetary policy toolkit - Yellen keen to refute the idea that the cupboard is not bare / empty if the Fed should need to ease policy in the face of a new downturn, underlining that more QE with a wider asset base would be a key element, as (laughably) would 'forward guidance'. Interestingly markets appear to have omitted to note the contingency of "a renewed downturn", and 'jumped for joy' at 'more QE' talk. Yellen also said that GDP targeting and a higher inflation target would be important research topics. Interesting to note that Fed 'newbies' like Mester highlighting Fed's poor communications, which may be the most immediate point of focus for their efforts.

c) Admittedly hardly inspiring stuff, and markets clearly still very sceptical given perennial 'back and switch' moves of the past 18 months; the risk remains that Fed speakers will continue to berate markets over the next two weeks, clearly hoping to get the Sept probability at or above 50%. They are more than aware that their biggest operational risk is that not moving in September, would leave them having to wait until December, by which time Q3 GDP could easily turn out at 3.5% and headline CPI could be 2.0% y/y, and the Unemployment Rate as low as 4.5%, and they would de facto be way behind the curve. If they want to be gradual, they really do need to hike rates 25 bps in September.

Quick addendum: very interesting choppy shift on Fed Sept/Dec probabilities - at first markets did drive Sept down from 32 to 23%, this is now 30%, and Dec was down from 57% to 53% and is now 58% - perhaps this a case of l-t players sitting out algo noise and then making their moves????"
