There is a risk the unemployment rate can pop from here.

Inflation is slowly trending down.

Expect economy to remain resilient.

Lot of confidence housing services inflation is coming down.

Wage growth is slowly tending down.

My expectation is low hiring but low firing.

Have no idea if Powell stays on after chair term ends.

Would love to see Powell remain as a colleague for as long as he likes.

Not concerned about risk of Fed bank presidents being fired.

Don't agree with Bessent that bank Presidents don't represent their districts well.

AI is a big company story from what I hear, not an issue with small companies.
