Oh bully bearishOh, bully, bearish, how were we supposed to knowThe bully bears had the Fed in its corner. but now Chairman Powell says the higher for longer is predicated on data. Signs of the economy faltering will send the bears to the exit and let the bulls school the bears.Will Powell take his last shot at tightening come November 1? A final tightening suggests recession sooner and longer. Either way tightening is over.Give bulls a sign. Hit it, maybe one more time.-------------------Song: Baby, One More Time (1999)
