Strategists: The Fed should abandon its dovish stance and shift to a tightening position at its June meeting.
CoinFeed reported on May 18th that, according to Jinshi, Ed Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist of Yardeni Research, stated that as investors become increasingly concerned about inflation, the Federal Reserve needs to keep pace with the bond market or risk losing control over borrowing costs. He pointed out that given the current market environment is "no longer" suitable for an accommodative stance, the Fed should remove its dovish bias at its June meeting. "If the Fed fails to remove this bias, investors will conclude that the Fed is lagging behind the inflation curve and will demand a higher inflation risk premium," Yardeni said. "We expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at its June meeting and shift to a tightening policy stance." Yardeni added that the current economic context no longer provides a reason for an accommodative bias, let alone interest rate cuts.
