What was said around it

we say we you know the the the neutral fed funds is 2.9% and you know why aren't we closer we're now thinking about that gap which is exactly what I talked about a month ago Jeremy seagull believes that this is the best news the FED could deliver that they're not worrying about the gradual approach of slowly lowering interest rates down to this target he says mind the gap that there's a large gap between where we are now and neutral neutral from the FED standpoint is 2.9% we're currently around 4.7% so we have a ways to go to get to that neutral stance and I think he's certainly correct about more interest rates coming in the future now of course whenever the FED is on a path of cutting interest rates like this investors are not only concerned about combating the growth and unemployment they're also concerned about reigniting inflation we have a bit of shell shock from the level of inflation we just went through and the last thing this country needs is to reignite inflation again inflation shows any signs of picking up and the FED says hold off we're not going to do anything else anymore that's correct but I don't see any sign of inflation picking up I mean I took a look at the markets
