Federal Reserve Chairman answered tough questions as he laid out the roadmap for hikes over the next year. Jerome Powell walked back from his May meeting statement where he ruled out a 75 bps hike to make room for many more hikes as inflation continues to be stubborn with no sign of abating. The Fed Chief acknowledged that with rate hikes come the risks of higher unemployment and pain for the common man. Here is an edited transcript of the press conference-: Coming out of our last meeting in May, there was a broad sense on the Committee that a 1/2 percentage point increase in the target range should be considered at this meeting if economic and financial conditions evolved in line with expectations. We also stated that we were highly attentive to inflation risks and that we would be nimble in responding to incoming data and the evolving outlook. Since then, inflation has again surprised to the upside, some indicators of inflation expectations have risen, and projections for inflation this year have been revised up notably. In response to these developments, the Committee decided that a larger  increase in the target range was warranted at today’s meeting. This continues our approach of expeditiously moving our policy rate up to more normal levels. And it will help ensure that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2 percentOverall economic activity edged down in the first quarter, as unusually sharp swings in inventories and net exports more than offset continued strong underlying demand. The median projection in the SEP for the unemployment rate rises somewhat over the next few years, moving from 3.7 percent at the end of this year to 4.1 percent in 2024, levels that are noticeably above the March projections.Over coming months, we will be looking for compelling evidence that inflation is moving down, consistent with inflation returning to 2 percent. We anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate; the pace of those changes will continue to depend on the incoming data and the evolving outlook for the economy. Clearly, today’s 75 basis point increase is an unusually large one, and I do not expect moves of this size to be common. From the perspective of today, either a 50 or 75 basis point increase seems most likely at our next meeting. We will, however, make our decisions meeting by meeting, and we will continue to communicate our thinking as clearly as we can. Our overarching focus is using our tools to bring inflation back down to our 2 percent goal and to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored

Economists have been citing the inverted yield curve a lot these days as they predict a possible recession. But what is inverted yield and how does it predict a recession?
First, we will understand what is yield.
A yield is a return that a bond investor gets. Bond and bond yields are inversely proportional to each other, meaning that when the demand for a specific bond rises, its yield drops.
Basically, high demand means low yields; low demand means high yields.
In a normal case, yields on longer-term maturity bonds are higher than that of shorter-term bonds.
An inverted yield curve is a situation when the yields on short-term debt become more than the long-term debt.
In an easy language, this reflects a shift in demand from short-term credit to long-term credit. This happens when the big money sees a riskier condition in the near term. Hence, reflecting a recession or an economic downturn in the upcoming months.

Top 5 'fat-finger' trades that rocked global marketsJapan's Jitters with $711 Billion Blunder2014: In what could have been one of most expensive fat-finger trades ever. Someone placed more than 40 erroneous orders in some of Asia’s largest corporations, representing hundreds of billions of dollars of business. Orders included a request for 1.9 billion shares in Toyota, around 57 per cent of its total share capital. Though no real losses were accouted for as the trades were cancelled - the total value of the cancelled trade were greater than the economy of Sweden. Samsung Sec's $140 Billion Slip Up 2018: An employee at one of South Korea's largest brokerages, tried to pay employees 1,000 won ($1.25) per share in dividends under a company compensation plan, but instead gave them 1,000 company shares instead, worth on paper about 112.6 trillion won ($140 billion), more than 30 times the company's market value.Things got worse when 16 employees sold the stock, spurring a rout of as much as 12 per cent in the space of minutes on April 6, the biggest decline since the global financial crisis. Deutsche's $6 Billion Debacle2019: The German bank accidentally transferred $6bn to a hedge fund client in 2015 after a junior trader on its foreign exchange desk mistakenly put through the trade. Even though the trade was reversed it left a unbilled damaged to the bank's goodwill. 
Mizuho’s Mess Up Cost Millions2005: The brokerage arm of Mizuho accidentally offered to sell 610,000 shares of recruitment company J-Com at one yen, instead of the intended one share at 610,000 yen. Mizuho was forced to pay 912,000 yen a share to investors who bought shares of J-Com, suffering a loss of $335 million, as part of an emergency settlement plan
Gold's No Haven2017: Gold traders were rattled in Juneby a huge spike in volume in New York futures when trading jumped to 1.8 million ounces of gold in just a minute, an amount bigger than the gold reserves of Finland. Only possible explanation: a mistaken trade of 18,149 lots of a futures contract, about 100 times the size of a typical trade of 18,149 ounces.

But in the case of a 'fat finger trade' it could cost the trader a hefty sum when a trade is executed mistakenly by the wrong press of a button.If it is a single retail trader who faces a 'fat finger' error the imapct is not usually dire. But in today's day of  algo trades a fat finger trade can set a chain-reaction of events in place, similar to the domino effect. In some cases, the downward spiral can be catastrophic, such as during the stock market’s flash crash in 2010. And it is not as simple as 'oops' as even the biggest trader may not have the option of reversing the call on their own. It usually requires intervention at the exchange levels and most often requires the regulators nod as well. So next time think before you hit go!

Beyond inflation and growth, the markets were buzzing with the term 'SDF' as the Reserve Bank of India began it's process of post pandemic normalisation but did not tinker with policy rates. In a bid to manage liquidity in the market the central bank introduced Standing Deposit Facility or SDF at 3.75 per cent. This is the rate at which banks can park their excessive funds with the RBI and other side is MSF (@ 4.25%)where they can borrow an additional amount of overnight money from the central bank. 
At both ends of liquidity corridor, the standing facility at the base will absorb liquidity while the one at the other end will inject liquidity, governor Shaktikanta Das said.Generally, RBI uses reverse repo to absorb liquidity. In reverse repo, RBI takes liquidity from the banks and gives reverse repo rate of interest to the banks and keeps government securities (GSec, SDL, Tbills) as collateral. The SDF replaces the need for collateral and makes it a more smooth and efficient process. The impact of an SDF floor being fixed at 3.75% indicates further hikes in fixed deposit and savings rate as effectively the savings rate for banks is also now higher by 40 bps vs the previous benchmark of the reverse repo.
