All right.
Speaking of the last meeting, we came out of that believing that, or at least Wall Street, that you're going to cut rates again in October and maybe in December.
But since then, we've gotten some numbers that show GDP is hotter.
Inflation is still running hot.
And the jobless claims numbers suggest companies aren't laying anybody off.
So should we have less confidence in the path going forward?
Well, the majority...
Majorities seem to believe, at least according to what the chairman tells us, that inflation is going to be a one-time rise in the price level.
Then overnight, we got a bunch of new tariffs, as you just saw, on a lot of different things from the president.
How much confidence do you have in any kind of inflation forecast at this point?
Not much.
And yet you get PCE in an hour and basically you've already calculated the numbers.
Inflation is not moving in the right direction.
So can you still justify or how long can you justify cutting rates in that environment?
Well, at least you and I are still employed, as of today.
Well, we'll see how this interview goes from here.
You suggested that companies in your district are beginning to feel a little bit better, or at least some of the uncertainty has come off of their planning and their thinking.
Are these kind of big new tariffs that we got today just going to change that mind?
The idea that ongoing tariffs and ongoing disruption are going to be part of this administration and economy, is that in their planning?
This morning we had an investor on who basically said markets are rising because of the idea that a year from now rates will be substantially lower.
