But remember it took them 17 times to get from 1 to 5.25. When shtf it will take them only 4 emergency cuts to go back to 1.

Monetary policy has become one sided and politicized, this is the result of too much transparency and loss of independence.

IMO the Fed should hike today, funds are 2 points below where they should be, given the inflation pressures, but should they raise today they will be crucified by the real estate industry.

I can picture thousands of realtors in agencies around the country huddled around Tv screens turned to CNBC, waiting for the news of the pause. It is their livelihood at stake here !
