However, the financial market participants typically trade in anticipation of policy turns, and this is the first time the Fed has hinted at one such turn.
Presumably, the Fed isn’t saying inflation will go back to zero…maybe they mean it will go back to 2% on core? The market extended early gains in the first half owing to strong global cues from the US and Asia-Pacific markets. But if inflation expectations keep rising – especially if they were to do so in the absence of actual price rises, the Fed might panic at some point.

China
The people said officials of at least two government agencies in Beijing and Shanghai have been instructed verbally by supervisors not to park their Tesla electric cars at work. Also in China, a Xinjiang-based polysilicon producer has broken an industry code of silence, campaigning to avoid sanctions over allegations of forced labor at rivals.
