Takeaways from the Powell presser:
-There's a high bar right now for the Fed to cut rates, but there's an even higher bar for the Fed to resume rate hikes
-He's still expecting inflation to come down, in large part because of the shelter disinflation everyone has expected

Fed Chair Powell summary today:
1) A rate hike is very unlikely
2) His base case is to cut rates later this year, but it’s not a given
3) No sign of stagflation
4) 3% inflation is not acceptable
