The Fed Will Pivot - First They Must Find a Way to Save Face.

There is no question the consensus of the Federal Reserve Board is to slow rate hikes and quickly restart a quantitative easing program to avoid a 2008 style international financial crisis.

No Question.

So, will they do it? Of course, just as soon as they can manufacture a plausible reason for their sudden reversal. Ah ha, here we go. October 13 brings the newest inflation report for September. Prepare for it to be spun like a yo-yo doing walk the dog. Whatever the number is, it will be 'positive news on inflation, proof the Fed is winning the battle' or something similar. 

But that's ok. The USA economy will benefit, and so will all the citizens, except maybe the Democrats who have been in charge of the country for the last couple years. 

Here's a good take from MarketWatch. (Long but good read)
