So no new hawkish language at all not one bit. Let alone morons thinking they would raise rates today.

With the threat of the Ukraine situation.. how disconnected are they from those politics? Being super hawkish with this geopolitical tinder box primed doesn't seem wise.

Ukraine is a non-event. Biden will not physically oppose Russia in Ukraine. Nor will Nato. And Russia isn't going further west than Ukraine.

Super hawkish? This Fed isn't even remotely hawkish. We have Stockholm syndrome we don't even know what hawkish is at this point. QE is still going, it still as I type this is pumping more liquidity into the market.

Of course they aren't, I was posing the question in the context of some "analysts" claiming they would jump the gun straight to a 50bp move at this meeting, along with accellerated taper.

Those aren't analysts. They are crackheads.

People confuse what they know to be the right move versus what this Fed will be willing to do. Even people thinking four rate hikes this year, this is a fed that will use ANY excuse to delay a hike. Oh 4 people in Guatamalasia have a new form of the cold well we better wait.

Whats funny is professional investors who obviously want stocks to move upwards are still crying out "WTF how did they not address 7% inflation".
