which no one can predict definitively how it will go. but it sure feels good having low interest rates. clearly, december-january in the equity markets, we got ahead of ourselves. back in february, there was a weird technical thing that set it off, but that was people -- the bond market, we got a reasonably sharp selloff, just because so many people were short. but the trend is still heading higher in rates, gradually higher in equities, until we get some significant inflation. >> looking at the fed and the tightening cycle, there is a sense we could be closer to the end because there is no inflation than they think. >> well, we are closer than we were at the beginning of the tightening cycle, but i suspect it's more likely that this

10:37 pm
of the discussion. >> the spanish government, not as big a change. what do you think the new administration there -- good, discussion there is but yes, we will continue to work. we are working very closely with the two finance ministers of spain, and i'm sure it will continue to be like that. reservewill the federal make of this week's economic data? james ford spoke exclusively with bloomberg. still plenty to discuss our monetary policy. >> what about the political crisis in italy, which have such an outsized impact on market this week? how does it affect your view of
10:38 pm
the proper course of said policy? does it make a difference? >> i think uncertainty about the future of the euro is certainly a big issue in the last decade, and the rise of eurosceptic parties in italy is a serious matter. so we will certainly take that on board and discuss it. we have certainly been through this before, with the sovereign debt crisis that raged in 2011 and 2012 in europe. but i'da major factor, also say that when we have been projecting out what the fed would do, i always felt it was priced for perfection, as if nothing could ever happen or nothing could ever go wrote. i think the italian situation shows you that uncertainty can rear its head at any moment. >> looking at what's happening in italy, and with all the trade tensions, not just with the u.s. but with china as well, to what degree do you think that this is
10:39 pm
more ammunition for yourself being the strongest dove on a slower rate hike, slower expectations? >> well, as you know, one of the things i've been concerned about is that we go too aggressively and too much on the timetable, not sensitive enough to incoming data. this is the type of thing that could give a person pause. i'm not saying that it will. eu a renewed crisis in the would certainly be a major factor from the u.s. point of view in how we want to proceed. i don't really think we are to that point yet. it sounds like the italians have formed a government, and we will have to see how this plays out over the summer. ♪
