John Williams, New York Fed President, says that while inflation has showed some signs of slowing, a tight labor market and other factors are likely to keep price pressures elevated and warrant high interest rates for some time. Emily Roland, John Hancock Investment Management Co-Chief Investment Strategist, explains why markets have been "comfortably numb." Subadra Rajappa, Societe Generale Head of US Rates Strategy, says concerns over a recession in the US are a little bit premature. Sam Stovall, CFRA Chief Investment Strategist, sees the market enduring a challenging first half, as the economy likely succumbs to the long anticipated, but mild, recession.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
