• You say fade any signs of weakness and are bullish on growth. What underpins that?
    Jonathan Ferro
  • Stephen Juneau
    Plenty of tailwinds: fiscal stimulus, the Fed's 175 bps of cuts now puts policy near neutral or accommodative, AI is a tailwind for investment which will spill over to other sectors. When you have an improving economic outlook, you see better broad investment.
  • Is GDP decoupling from payrolls?
    Jonathan Ferro
  • Stephen Juneau
    A little bit, but that can't last. Last year was the wealth effect/K-shaped economy. This year we'll see job growth move higher to realign with GDP, closer to 60,000-80,000 per month.
  • Does the data have to cooperate with the Kevin Warsh Fed?
    Lisa Abramowicz
  • Stephen Juneau
    I think it does. Warsh is just one person. Without economic justification, it will be hard to engineer cuts. The risk around our forecast is towards fewer cuts, not more.
  • The market is pricing in three cuts, you're not. Is the market offsides?
    Lisa Abramowicz
  • Stephen Juneau
    We're still penciling in two cuts, thinking the Fed can cut its long-run neutral estimate. But the window is closing because of the positive jobs report and inflation that's fine, not too hot or cold.
