The Fed Thinks That it Has Unfinished Business: It Is Wrong!
Questions about inflation and growth were the two economic forces that dominated the market in 2022. They had a “grand finale” this week.

For no known rational reason, Powell threw a wrench at inflation and seized the wheel of activity by spiking its spokes.
