Making The Perfect The Enemy Of The Good, Fed edition
FYI: The Federal Reserve, it seems, is still waiting for the economic equivalent of perfection and risks squandering a good opportunity to begin normalizing interest rates. While this may be part of a well-intentioned effort to prepare the ground for investors and avoid a market shock when the increase finally comes, every delay only further reinforces unrealistically dovish expectations.
