Next, the Fed's facing a challenge as the U.S. economy isn't slowing down as expected despite interest rate hikes; we'll discuss why finding the right balance is critical. On Wall Street, experts are revisiting their predictions for the S&P 500 Index after underestimating this year's stock market rise. However, they're not calling it a bull market just yet. Economist Nouriel Roubini is sounding the alarm about rising oil prices potentially leading to stagflation in Europe. Lastly, a 36-hour central bank marathon involving 11 key players is underway, tackling complex monetary policy in a world with diverse inflation and economic challenges. Despite inflation concerns, markets are surprisingly confident in predicting policies, inflation rates, and bond yields.
