    The USA Federal Reserve also decided to punt today,
    keeping rates the same despite Trump being pissed.

    The West is kind of on a knife-edge here ... between
    rampant inflation and trade issues and money issues
    and even possible deflation.

    Trump wants lower rates for political reasons, but
    that MAY not be the best economic logic at the moment.
    Trade and war issues cloud the horizon. The conservative
    approach really IS better. For now we need "stability".

    Sucks for some, salvation for others. So what's new ?
