What was said around it

concern over inflation because the markets are so uncertain a lot of people are out of work they're not spending money either stuck at home and because of all of that there's no real upward push in prices but one day when people's confidence comes back and they go back to work and all of a sudden they have some money to spend then at that point I would begin to worry that maybe inflation could rise at which point I have a feeling the Federal Reserve would step in again to make sure it doesn't get too out of control until then I would say deflation is likely going to be the biggest concern and that happens when our cash becomes more valuable the longer we hold on to it so we hoard cash and not spend it because prices keep falling and that's really bad for the economy I have a really in-depth video about this so they've made about a few weeks ago so if you guys are interested in learning more about that I'm gonna link to that video down below in the description during the press release it was also brought up that the Federal Reserve is essentially propping up the stock market with these fiscal policies there is a disconnect it appears between the markets and the economic outlook right now
