“It’s ironic that investors are considering a change in the Fed’s direction even though real interest rates are at their most negative historically,” he said. “It means the Fed isn’t really fighting inflation. is not a plus. It is difficult to predict that (the market) will turn into a huge bullish in the near future.”
