Snookered
Did Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, get himself into a pickle? With bond yields still on the rise, it´s starting to look that way. The markets seem to be testing the Fed chief’s pain threshold, which could result in an interesting game of chicken. The press conference on 17 March was arguably his best to date. It contained neither doubts nor unexpected digressions to difficult topics. Powell was as clear as he could possibly be: don’t expect tighter monetary policy until maximum employment has been reached, and there is a sustained rise in inflation to 2% in sight. Well, that’s going to take a while. But this powerful confirmation of the forward guidance may lead to an interesting showdown with markets in the coming months. … [Read More...]

Bullish Pig Crop Report Sets Stage for Summer of Expensive Pork
Good morning hog traders Prices will likely be limit up on the open. The headline will read, US Hog Supplies shrink for the first time in seven years. 2014 highs are likely given pork prices. This comes at a time when pork demand is record high in both exports and domestic demand. Get ready for sticker shock at the grocery store, meat inflation is going to be a story.
