I remember a time when he could do nothing to please you.

Glad to have you on team Powell.

I expect the Fed to hold rates steady until the end of the year, and if the economy continues to decline/inflation climb, start hiking rates in 2027.

It’s tricky, because we could be headed for significant stagflation, where rate setting is a finer needle to thread.
