No way they hike rates. That won't happen until COVID is a memory. I think they re-state that inflation, while recently high, is not a concern longer term.
These guys now have 3 mandates and inflation is the least of their concerns right now.
They will do what they do, but IMO unless they step up the sleight of hand paper/electronic money purchases of bonds/MBS's 10 year rate likely will head higher. And not just by a little.
My EW wave count is at wave 4 of 5 of a higher degree wave c of a still higher degree, corrective to the main trend, Wave 2. Impulsive Wave 3, to come, is typically the biggie.
