  • Fed Chair Powell speaks in Washington D.C at 8:15 am CT, and will again tomorrow.
    • His speech comes after Fed members talked back Fed Chair Powell’s seemingly dovish post-FOMC press conference, where he highlighted the risks of doing too much and too little now symmetrical.
    • Is the committee playing out the Jekyll and Hyde approach, where Powell holds his tone, and members push back on a pause, or does Powell also walk back the perceived tone?
    • According to the CME’s FedWatch Tool there is a 9.8% probability the Fed hikes 25bps at its meeting on December 13th meeting. 
    • We will also hear from NY Fed President Williams at 12:40 pm CT, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Barr at 1:00 pm CT, and Fed Governor Jefferson at 3:45 pm CT.
  • The U.S. Treasury will auction $40 billion 10-year Notes at noon CT.
