Fed head Yellen’s ongoing emphasis that the likely slow pace of tightening is more important than the timing of the first rate hike has seemed to help flatten the yield curve. It may also be somewhat noteworthy that Yellen stressed she saw no need to forewarn the market before the Fed actually announces a rate increase.

It was also significant that Yellen noted the economy could actually benefit from higher rates, an indication that she probably prefers at least one rate increase this year. The timing of the first rate hike probably depends on Fed priorities. Will the Fed see a need to raise by September or October given year-end considerations that it may have difficulty raising rates in December? Or will the desire for economic, financial and inflation indicators to all be pointing in the right direction be most important? Yellen has provided almost no insight on the timing question beyond saying one seems probable at some point this year.

A complicating factor could involve inflation. While producer price index figures jumped higher in June, recent weakness commodities suggests any uptick in inflation will be short-lived. The behavior of the commodity markets going forward will be increasingly critical.
