RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BOC Rate Hikes Look like fed/BOC intentions and words alone are enough to hurt the market. They still have ~1.5 months to absorb the economic data. I think couple of token rate hike is what the fed/BOC can afford. Right now the scarecrow is working

Wouldn't surprise me if they indend to let inflation run hot for awhile to inflate the dollar to make the debt not as significant.
