US Open: Bullard’s projections suggest Fed’s work is almost done, China-Russia ties, RBNZ hikes, Oil remains heavy, Gold edges higher, Bitcoin softens ahead of Fed Minutes
US stock turned positive after Fed’s Bullard stated that markets might be over-pricing US recession risk.  Bullard said his projections for rates are to reach 5.375%, which implies 75 bps more in rate increases.  Bullard is one of the more hawkish members, so if he thinks we only have a little ways to go here, the peak in rates might be properly priced in.  The disagreement between the Fed and markets on how high rates to go might be over and that could provide a tentative boost for stocks.
