Having initially popped as Fed Chair Powell used the word “patient” four times in the first few minutes of his Q&A today, stocks suddenly dropped as he addressed the size of the balance sheet…

Pump…

*POWELL: FED CAN WATCH PATIENTLY AND CAREFULLY

POWELL SAYS FED HAS THE ABILITY TO BE PATIENT ON RATES

*POWELL SAYS FED IS IN A PLACE WHERE IT CAN BE PATIENT, FLEXIBLE

*POWELL: FED WAITING, WATCHING AND CAN BE PATIENT, FLEXIBLE

And Dump…

*POWELL: WE WANT TO RETURN BALANCE SHEET TO MORE NORMAL LEVEL

*POWELL: NOT SURE YET WHAT LONG-TERM SIZE OF B/SHEET WILL BE

*POWELL: B/SHEET TO BE SMALLER THAN NOW BUT LARGER THAN BEFORE

Markets did not like that…
