Will the Federal Reserve show chutzpah today?

In my How far Behind the Curve is the Federal Reserve? report last weekend I suggested that the Fed needed to increase its Fed Funds rate by a full 1.0% today to regain control of the inflation narrative and asked if it has the chutzpah to do this.

The following table shows clearly that it has been the market fighting inflation by driving up interest rate – while the fed has continued with its easy money policy.

We’ll find out in a few hours how serious this Fed is about getting inflation under control.
