WSJ Your Money Briefing · Federal Reserve: Weak Inflation a Worry · 23 Nov 2017 podcast

So it'll be interesting to see how those projections pan out, whether they come down or they stay the same.

It's worth noting, of course, that the Fed will, after February, it's likely that the Fed will have Jerome Powell as its leader.

He's Trump's nominee to succeed Janet Yellen.

There are lots of changes coming up at the Fed next year for sure.

So Jerome Powell in his speeches has largely stayed very close to the consensus view of the Fed for the whole time that he's been there.

And so he is seen as someone who has very similar views to Janet Yellen.

It's hard to know exactly what he thinks, though, because, as I said in his speeches, he has tended to sort of take the consensus line.

So it'll be interesting to see how things pan out once he's in the chairman's seat.

When I last checked, just before this, we're at 100%.

So markets see at least one rate increase by December.

So very, very high.

I don't think I've ever seen market expectations at 100% before myself.

Thank you.
