Summary
We kick off with a segment from our TV broadcast with Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman. He tells Francine Lacqua & Tom Keene that lower rates would be great "symbolically" but it wouldn't change business decisions. Julia Coronado, Macropolicy Perspectives President and Founder, outlines the Fed's difficult communication challenge. Krishna Memani, Invesco OFI CIO, says growth is moderating but not to a catastrophic level. And Vincent Reinhart, Mellon Chief Economist & Macro Strategist, echoes Coronado's take that central banks have "a hard time anchoring" communications.
