It’s interesting watching the investor behavior surrounding EVERYTHING the Fed does. Especially in an environment where inflation is high, it seems like everybody is hanging on every word said. It really doesn’t take much reading into though. The Fed has been transparent from the start about what they’re doing.

‘Demand For Used Cars Drops But High Prices Won’t Budge’ – Sarah O’Brien – CNBC
- When the demand for a product skyrockets, the natural expectation is that prices will go up. When the demand subsides, you would in turn expect prices to reduce as well. However, especially in the used car industry, that’s not happening. Once prices hit a certain point, it’s hard for them to come back down.
ENJOY!
