Jean Boivin, head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, said in a note that markets may be overreading language from Fed chair Kevin Warsh's post-meeting press conference. He said the Fed's decision to raise rates helps establish the new chair's credibility and that the conference's emphasis on the strength of the U.S. economy was widely interpreted as a hawkish signal. Boivin added that with strong growth, rate hikes are not necessarily bad for risk assets and that defending Fed credibility should be distinguished from starting a sustained tightening cycle.
