The Fed's primary tool right now is their communication (forward guidance).
When a member like Williams says "policy is modestly restrictive," it's a signal that they think they are done hiking, but it doesn't lock in a specific date for cuts.

The market often hears "cuts!" and gets excited, but the Fed will remain entirely data-dependent.
If upcoming inflation (CPI/PCE) or jobs data comes in hot, this "near term" cut narrative can get pushed out quickly, and the dollar can snap right back up.

Insane movements. 90+% to below 40% now back to the 70's in under a month.

That is going to translate to some Mr Whippy market activity.

It would be very helpful to the NDX at the moment if we got a stronger forward guidance of a December cut.
