June decision on hike is data dependent says Williams

More stating of the bleeding obvious

  • Data stream recently has been basically consistent with his forecast

  • Sees some softening in hot commercial real-estate market

  • Could use QE again if needed, Fed not out of ammo

  • Negative rates is bottom of the Fed's toolkit list

  • Forward guidance is also a powerful tool

The market has just about had its fill of Fed speakers of late. USDJPY is treading water near the lows but we're seeing a touch of USD strength against the euro, pound and AUD, which are all around their lows.

Best in 2026
