3. ➔ Markets remained in a range today waiting on Janet
Yellen. Comments from her speech were Dovish and
then Hawkish and then Dovish and the Hawkish. Huh?
➔ Yellen makes it clear that her goal is to protect the
“Economy”. Switch the word economy with stock
market and everything she says makes sense. A financial
meltdown will not be because the economy is creating
jobs and GDP getting closer to 3%, it will be because
stock valuations are too high and the FED has created an
asset bubble.
➔ Yellen also made remarks of further easing in the future.
The whole reason for QE was to dig the
economy/market out of a crisis. So why continue easing
if we are not in a crisis? Is the FED expecting a crisis?
Food for thought
➔ Consumer Confidence and New Home Sales were not as
good as expected, but a decent number overall. Possible
reason for a bad number Home #’s could be Hurricane
Harvey. No reaction to the number as traders were
expecting Yellen’s speech.
This week we have quite a few things to look forward to:
● Tuesday:
○ New Home Sales 10am est
○ Consumer Confidence 10am est

speeches will be closely watched. Markets mostly affected will
be 6E, 6B, GC, ZB.
