It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia.

The Philly Fed non-manufacturing sentiment index just tanked to -12.8 as The Federal Reserve removes its Covid-related stimulus.

The banking fiasco (SVB, Signature, etc.) has caused The Fed’s balance sheet to expand … again.

And Fed Funds Futures are pricing in a meager 20 basis points increase at tomorrow’s FOMC meeting (some betting on no change, some betting on 25 basis points). Then another rate hike at the May FOMC meeting, then all downhill from there.

Call this the Powell retreat.
