US TSYS: LBBW's Karl Haeling said July 25-25 FOMC meeting mins "showed a lot of
concern about asset prices that were described as "elevated" from "notable" at
the previous meeting. But there was even bigger concern about the lack of
greater inflation."
- He added "most "observed that" the FOMC "could afford to be patient under
current circumstances in deciding when to increase the federal funds rate
further and argued against additional adjustments until incoming information
confirmed that the recent low readings on inflation were not likely to persist
and that inflation was more clearly on a path toward the Committee's symmetric 2
percent objective over the medium term."
- Haeling said this suggests "until inflation starts rising again, the Fed seems
unlikely to raise rates" more and "for the mkts, note that 59% of global money
mgrs are underweight bonds. The reach for yld should continue."
- He added there are "growing questions" on "business confidence" amid "intense
political controversy" on US Pres. Trump.
