I think understanding that and understanding how that affects policy choices is a great thing to study further and talk about further in the years ahead.
So I think it's very salient for what the committee does.
Yeah, equities, except for just recently, equities have been doing very well as they've digested the new trade policy of the U.S.
and how that's going to play out globally.
You've got the AI boom going on, really a driver of
for the big tech companies and you know I do get concerned that things we get ahead of ourselves sure it's a great technology and everything but how fast is it really going to diffuse into actual productivity
But overall, I would say, you know, it's possible that we'll get higher productivity growth ahead and really a good outcome for the second half of the 2020s here, much as we had in the second half of the 1990s.
If you think real growth is going to be faster, then yes, nominal GDP growth would be faster, even if the Fed hits its 2% inflation target over that period.
So, yeah, you would see faster nominal GDP growth.
Yeah, I mean, I think it was great to reach a preliminary deal with the EU.

And then you've got Canada and Mexico.
Looks like we're headed toward renegotiation of the USMCA, which I think would be a fine thing to revisit.
It was scheduled for 2026 anyway.
So it's maybe a little bit more settled than it was earlier this year.
And I think markets are liking that.
That's making it easier to plan.
So, so far, so good on that.
