What happened

Bond market investors believe the Federal Reserve needs to play catch up on inflation as its new leader takes over, according to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research.

Why it matters

Wall Street expects the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee to relinquish its bias toward easing rates at the policy meeting next month, Yardeni said.

Common ground

Bond traders are hoping that is replaced with a slant toward tighter monetary policy, the economist said.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
