They can’t predict the next quarter with a straight face, but now they’ve got crystal-clear visions all the way to 2027? Incredible. Must be nice to have that kind of time-traveling economic wizardry—maybe they should start picking lottery numbers too (for those in Singapore, do not forget today's (Thursday) toto draw 10million)

It is important that the Fed stays neutral, even if The President did call the chair a stiff. Without this strong neutrality the dollar's credibility will diminish. I am happy that Fed Chair Powell is holding the line, despite the Presidential gaslighting.
