5:04 pm
is noise. the u.s. and north korean summit, okay that is all well and good and historic, but really nothing is going to be accomplished in a two-hour meeting that trump and kim jong-un are going to have in two hours. right? at 9:00 p.m. our time. therefore, as long as the news isn't negative, as long ashe th lines aren't negative about that meeting, then the market will be okay. right? what people should be focusing on is get rid of all that and fu should be focusing on as bob and you said, teral reserve, what they say on wednesday, what the ecb says on thursday and what the bank -- says on friday along with the broader macro dat which is really going to be all of those events is what price starts, righ is in the noise. g7 and the summit are not going to price stocks in the long term and just cause investors to get anxious. >> the expectation ishathe fed raises rates on wednesday for the second time this year. >> right. >> we wait to see what they might suggest about the future. what do you expect rates to do?
