In September, the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee\u2019s so-called dot-plot forecast penciled in one more rate rise in 2023.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>On Wednesday, Powell said policy makers were asking themselves whether they had hiked enough, and said they weren\u2019t confident rates were yet restrictive enough. That means the Fed is going to take it meeting by meeting, weighing the data as it decides whether it needs to make another move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowell had several opportunities to threaten another rate hike, but passed on most of them,\u201d said Thomas Simons, U.S. economist at Jefferies, in a note.<\/p>\n<p>While stocks fluctuated over the course of Powell\u2019s news conference, major indexes ended the day with solid to strong gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average<br \/>\n        DJIA<br \/>\n       rose over 220 points, or 0.7%, while the S&amp;P 500<br \/>\n        SPX<br \/>\n       advanced 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite<br \/>\n        COMP<br \/>\n       jumped 1.6%.<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to rate expectations, fed-funds futures traders grew more skeptical the central bank will deliver a December rate hike. Market participants have now priced in a 19.8% probability the Fed will lift rates by 25 basis points, or a quarter point, at its final policy meeting of 2023, down from 28.8% on Tuesday. They see an 80.2% chance the Fed stands pat for a third straight meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Treasury yields extended a pullback, aiding the stock-market rally. The 10-year Treasury yield<br \/>\n        BX:TMUBMUSD10Y<br \/>\n       fell 8.4 basis points to 4.79%, while the 2-year yield<br \/>\n        BX:TMUBMUSD02Y<br \/>\n       fell back below 5%.<\/p>\n<p>Powell \u201cdeclined to nudge the market pricing toward the hike that many Federal Open Market Committee members projected at their September FOMC meeting,\u201d said Tiffany Wilding, an economist at Pimco, in a client note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, Chair Powell suggested that a continuation of above-trend growth was needed to garner additional rate hikes, and that the current trend growth may be elevated as a result of the postpandemic normalization in immigration, and the more general improvement in labor-force participation,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Powell reinforced the pricing of around only a 20% chance of a rate hike in December, Wilding said, putting \u201cthe onus on the data between now and then to knock them off of that track.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/stocks-rallied-because-feds-powell-didnt-nudge-markets-harder-on-potential-rate-hike-574df60b?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s uncertainty over whether policy makers have raised rates enough didn\u2019t stand in the way of a rally for both stocks and bonds on Wednesday.
