Following the announcement of a new Fed chair, we explore the evolving landscape of monetary policy and its impact on markets.

The discussion covers the latest Fed meeting, the outlook for rate cuts and the influence of fiscal stimulus on consumer spending and market momentum. Gain insights into the dynamics of a tight, but not necessarily strong, labor market, the implications of shifting immigration trends and the potential for inflation to remain sticky in the months ahead.
