What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAs we told you earlier, the Fed minutes showed no appetite for more hikes.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNew part: the Economic Times says officials also want to prepare for bond market stress.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining me via satellite is Senator Marjorie Plunkett-Okafor of the made-up Eastern Lower Dakotas. Senator, rising Treasury yields worry the Fed. Your reaction?

  4. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforKenji, yields are rising because of the previous administration, the weather, and a man named Gary.

  5. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforAnything that goes well in that market, that was my pep talk.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, Gary. Okay. The minutes say the Fed is not stepping in unless policy transmission is threatened. What does that mean to you?

  7. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforIt means I was right, and also that I was never involved. I sit on four committees and have never once attended a bond meeting.

  8. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforThat's called leadership.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSenator, the minutes say officials discussed adjusting the balance sheet. Did you vote on that, or is this one of those blame-everyone moments?

  10. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforI voted for it, against it, and I was in the bathroom. All three are true, depending on how the polling goes.

  11. Marjorie Plunkett-OkaforBlame the interns.

  12. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe'll have to leave it there, Senator. Thanks for explaining nothing with total confidence. Futures are open, and so are my questions.
