- Jobs market cooling a bit but still extremely strong
- Goods inflation has been tough to bring down
- Highlights improvements in US productivity as disinflationary
- Fed has to be patient, monetary policy has lags

- Holding rates at these levels is increasing restriction
- We have been getting promising numbers on inflation
