Some of market strength due to reduced us exposure to oil shock.
inflation expectations that are well anchored important
Cyber risk is the thing that keeps me up at night
Market pricing balancing strong US outlook versus war uncertainty.
The longer the conflict lasts, the bigger the economic impact will be.
Inflation will be ‘well above" 3% over next few months.
Now is not a good time for the Fed to give firm forward guidance.
We are in the right place for monetary policy.”
