‘Breaking something somewhere’
This is a data-dependent Federal Reserve. And so, quite logically, that makes the market data dependent as well.
We’ve seen that a thousand times, with each little bit of new information whipsawing stocks and bonds. Today’s jobs report was no different
That roller coaster ride in US markets, Mohamed El-Erian said, threatens to become a growing problem, even with a payrolls print “that will please the Fed and please the markets.”
“This volatility in interest rate structure — it is causing havoc elsewhere in the world when US rates swing as much as they do on a short-term basis,” said El-Erian, the president of Queens' College, Cambridge, and Bloomberg Opinion columnist.
“This volatility, which we are continuing in rates, risks — I’m afraid — risks breaking something elsewhere, and that is what we’ve got to keep an eye on.”
