Quote of the Day
"The Fed edges more dovish with each year that passes without the inflation outbreak so-long feared. It’s another reason to expect that both interest rates will tend to surprise on the low side and, if the Fed increasing errs against recession, expect that equities will surprise on the high side."
(Tim Duy)
