The DC Today - Wednesday, February 21, 2024

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3T6zpmI We began the day positive at least for the few hours and lost momentum mid day. The Fed minutes released today showed broad agreement in the need for more confidence for inflation moving to a sustained 2% target before decreasing rates. While this wasn’t new information and followed what Powell already revealed in statement and his press conference following the meeting, the minutes showed more Fed constituents citing inflation risks with as their primary concern then overly restrictive rate policy, and that is what saw rates move a little higher this afternoon and stocks lower.
