Fed's Bostic: Baseline right now is a 75 bps increase in Nov and 50 bps in Dec

  • Comments from the Atlanta Fed President
Bostic
  • Some evidence of improvement on the demand side but it's preliminary
  • Supply side improvements have not come in as fast as expected
  • There's no evidence of dysfuction in the bond market
  • Doesn't believe a US recession is a foregone conclusion
  • Household balances "seem to be leveling off" and will be watching for a decline as a sign demand will cool
  • Feels US has 'considerable momentum' and is less susceptible to contagion
  • Rents leveling off would be a 'really positive development'

On the other side of this, comments from Druckenmiller are crossing now and he says his baseline is a hard landing next year.
