Market Outlook and Interest Rates
The podcast discusses the current state of interest rates and inflation. It highlights how central banks have struggled to maintain 2% inflation in the past, but recent spikes have forced them to raise interest rates aggressively. The speaker suggests that even if inflation comes down to the target level, interest rates may not return to near zero. Factors like slowing globalization and rising union influence make consistent sub-2% inflation unlikely.
