On Aug. 27, U.S. equities rose to another record high as investors took assurance from comments by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell that the withdrawal of stimulus would be gradual.
Powell said the economy has now met the test of “substantial further progress” toward the Fed’s inflation objective while the labor market has also made “clear progress.”

But as long as they continue to be ultra-dovish on future rate hikes, I don’t think it will create a huge market reaction--at least initially.”
