| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in the Federal Reserve, waiting for the decision |
| 0:07.0 | on the reduction in the cost of money. The day started with a quarter point assured. |
| 0:14.0 | Mr Powell was going to follow through on his indication last year, late last year that there would be three |
| 0:21.0 | Fed reductions. A quarter point was the presumption in 2024. We have time for that |
| 0:27.7 | September, November and December, the two at last two after the election. |
