And does this do enough, Anthony, to reassure people who are looking at this weird, and I want you to explain this to me, because it's what I'm hearing here in Hong Kong, is the US economy is so confusing at the moment. voice-verified

On the one hand, you have the equity markets going bananas, largely on the back of voice-verified

AI investment. voice-verified

At the same time, despite this raise, real concerns about the longer-term state of the US economy, namely the tariff policy, the deficit which keeps ballooning, the lack of competence people are talking about quite openly now, lack of competence around economic policy with Besson trying to buy up bonds in order to calm the bond markets. voice-verified

is another way of talking about affordability. voice-verified

And they're basically saying whenever they can, the fat cats are getting richer, but you are paying, and here are a couple of the numbers, you're paying $4.30 for your gas, which might sound like nothing per gallon to Europeans, but is a lot for Americans. voice-verified

Your mortgage rates are now at about 7%. voice-verified

So the cost of your housing has got a lot more expensive. voice-verified
