Desperation is setting in. Consider these folks dangerous
There are nominal interest rates, and then there is the “real” interest rate, defined as the interest rate minus the inflation rate.
If inflation is indeed falling, but the interest rate isn’t falling, then real interest rates are rising.
So, if I was the Fed, I would retort that the Fed is keeping real interest rates constant.
From an investment perspective, real interest rates is the only thing that matters.
