I am back my friends !!!

While some of the FOMC statements were hawkish, the overall outcome is that the Fed is a little more dovish than the market had expected. Indeed, the Fed is shrugging off the inflationary signals from the latest University of Michigan consumer survey (which pointed towards rising inflation expectations) and instead is preferring to line the dot plot up with the growth deterioration. The slow down of QT starting in April helped as well. Stocks climbed yesterday, regaining some of their footing from a market sell-off that has been going on since February. The Dow jumped 0.9% and the S&P 500 surged just over 1%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.4%, but remains in correction — that is, the index is still more than 10% off its high.
