Fed Chair Powell just dropped an interesting take—says current rates are sitting somewhere in what he calls a "plausible neutral zone." That's Fed-speak for rates might actually be where they need to be right now. Market's gonna chew on that one.

Powell is playing word games again, and the "reasonable neutral range" means they haven't really decided anything.

Powell's remarks... are basically saying that interest rates are about right. Anyway, I see the market either going up or down, so pick one.

Powell is starting to dodge again. The term "reasonable neutral zone" sounds like it’s just paving the way for unchanged interest rates.

lol "plausible neutral zone" is just fed speak for "we have no idea what we're doing but the charts look okay-ish rn"... meanwhile i'm over here tracking every basis point like it's a gas price swing. do they even understand tx fees exist or??

Powell's statement sounds like he's passing the buck, "reasonable neutral zone"? Translation: basically, we also don't know what to do anymore, haha.

Is Powell hinting that it's time to stop raising interest rates? The market is going to explode next week.
