Microsoft Build & Fed’s Christopher Waller 5/21/24
Microsoft’s developer conference is underway with CEO Satya Nadella giving the keynote speech right now. We’ll continue to bring you all the latest headlines from that event as we get them. Plus, the tech-heavy Nasdaq hanging near the flat line after hitting a record high in yesterday’s session. We’re on record close watch for both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. The Dow meanwhile, is on pace for a second positive day in three. This comes as we’ve heard from five Fed officials so far today, all conveying the same message: the path to 2% will be longer than expected, and bumpy. The first cut is expected to come in September. Let’s see if that changes after our first and exclusive interview with Fed Governor Christopher Waller.
