Welcome to Seeking Alpha's Wall Street Breakfast, where we cover the top news for investors every morning.

Thanks for joining us today. I'm Julie Morgan, host of Wall Street Breakfast, Seeking Alpha's daily flagship podcast.

This is our weekly show all about the catalyst for the upcoming week.

I'm joined by Kim Kahn, he's the senior managing news editor at Seeking Alpha.

I'm also joined by Kevin Curran.

He's an associate news editor at Seeking Alpha.

Kim, it's not like it was a busy week or anything, right?

Oh, geez, yeah, mashed potatoes and gravy for us fed heads. It was crazy. We had the

CPI and then we had the Fed decision. We had everybody deciphering what's going on with a hawkish dot plot versus a fed pause and then chief

jaypal gave us a wonderful press conference of yeah I'm kind of dovish but no I'm kind of hawkish so it was really interesting a lot of things did out for me is when

J-Powell said that you know we are you know a couple years out from cutting rates that market reacted to.

But he also said that the labor market strength might actually help us off landing,

which is something that he hasn't said he's always been worried about

labor market strength so we got a lot of push and pull going on but what we do know is that

rates are on hold right now and the market expecting hiking next month.

And so we're next week going to need to hear from all the Fed heads.

They're going to have to say what they're thinking.

They're going to have to massage the message of whatever the press conference was.

Either somebody's going to come out and say, look, we really, really didn't think it was a skip,

or we really think that we have time to watch the data come in.

It was funny, his pal actually called it a skip

and then corrected himself, so it was kind of a nice oops moment.
