- Our inference is that Powell is leaning towards doing the right thing even if it means tightening the monetary policy to the point of a recession.
  - This is very encouraging for the prudent long term investors.
  - This should be discouraging for the momo crowd.
Powell said that it is very difficult to project even 90 days ahead and the plan is to stay nimble.
Powell said that he cannot predict the neutral funds rate, but his estimate is that it is 2 – 3%.
