“We do look at overall financial conditions, and we ask ourselves whether our policies are affecting financial conditions in a way that is what we’re trying to achieve,” Powell said. “But you’re right, by many measures, for example, equity prices are fairly highly valued.”
“Markets listen to us and follow and they make an estimation of where they think rates are going. And so they’ll price things in,” Powell said in part of the conversation dealing with mortgage rates.
Though Powell noted the lofty equity values, he said this is “not a time of elevated financial stability risks.”
Not really something you want your central banker saying to keep positive momentum in the stock market. Particularly when the Nasdaq is fairly stretched. A downside scenario could see us pulling back into the EMA bands to 575s for the $QQQ.
