“I am going to need to see at least another couple more months of inflation data.” “The strength of the economy and the recent data we have received on inflation mean it is appropriate to be patient, careful, methodical, deliberative – pick your favorite synonym. Whatever word you pick, they all translate to one idea: What’s the rush?”
how would you like that be translated ?
– that powell & co will be happy market is aligned with expectations (ie. 3 cuts) OR
– no cut at all in 2024 ?

Powell , BoC, JOlTS
Powell: With market expectations now aligned with Fed’s 3 rate cuts the general feeling is that Powell will be content with what financial markets currently expect and that will not want to rock the boat.
As always markets move in a surprise of look to spin an event to fit its view.
BoC status quo expected.

according to jeff cox:
* Fed Chair Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill on Wednesday with markets intent on getting more clarity about how the central bankf plans on proceeding with monetary policy this year.
* Central to the question of how the Fed acts from here on out is its view on inflation and how Powell expresses that.
* Powell’s testimony before Congress comes at a ticklish time for markets: After breaching historic highs, major stock averages have sold off this week.
Fed Chair Powell testifying to House on Wednesday. What investors are expecting
USDJPY DAILY CHART: We know the top but will the bottom hold?

The top for now is clear at 150.89
Support at 149.20 forms the bottom of the range, move today paused above it
But the key level is at 148.92
For today, focus is on Fed Chair Powell and how bond yields react will influence how USDJPY trades
Otherwise, 150 remains the ultimate bias setter, and the market likely in a sell on blips if(?) it can stay below it.
