WSJ Your Money Briefing · Stocks Rise; The Fed's on Deck · 15 Mar 2019 podcast

I mean, the base case in many people's minds was that the UK was going to vote against a no Brexit situation. matched

And that's what we did see. matched

Now, there's a lot of uncertainty still left on the table. matched

We still don't have an actual deal with the UK and the EU. matched

But just the fact that that vote went according to traders' plans is somewhat of a relief for the markets. matched

We'll really be tuning in to see the guidance that the Fed presents as far as its dot plots go. matched

Inflation has in particular been something that's really sort of perplexed economists over the last several months because we have seen the labor market continuing to post pretty impressive gains. matched

We saw record job openings last month, actually, and yet wage growth has remained somewhat muted. matched

And so it'll be interesting to see if Fed officials are sort of finding new ways to address where the inflation target should be. matched

And if so, if that'll affect their plans for rate increases and bond purchases in the future. matched

Thanks for having me. matched
