Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross

"A key Fed voice is signaling that interest rate cuts aren't imminent, pushing back market expectations for quick relief. This means borrowing costs will likely stay higher for longer, impacting everything from corporate profits to mortgage rates and overall economic growth. Investors should brace for continued market volatility as the Fed remains patient."
