| 1:02.0 | Bloomberg Audio Studios. Podcasts, Radio News. The chairman of the Federal Reserve, |
| 1:09.0 | Jerome Powell, wrapping up the June Fed decision. No change at the Federal Reserve to interest rates, plenty of changes in the forecast. Inflation moving up a little bit, the dot plot moving down a little bit. Equity market is just about holding on to gains and still near all-time highs on the S&P 500. On the NASDAQ, we're still higher by 1.8%. The Russell up by 2.2. |
| 1:29.3 | If you turn the page and switch at the board and get to the bond market, this is where things |

| 2:10.9 | implied three cuts for 2024. That came down to one. Yield started to climb. And then we all |
| 2:16.2 | had a big question going into the news |
| 2:17.6 | conference. Well, hang on a minute. Did they factor in the inflation report that came out this |
| 2:21.7 | morning? And obviously, inevitably, Chairman Powell was asked about it. This is what he had to say. |
| 2:28.0 | What's in the SEC actually does reflect the data that we got today to the extent you can, |
