1. Chris Weston:

   My back-of-the-envelope playbook is that we’d need a headline year-on-year number north of 5.5% to really set this market ablaze, we know inflation will be transitory – it’s a question of how long it takes for the year-on-year change to head back to 2%.

2. Wayne Wicker:

   Bond investors are expecting the economy to cool down, but equity investors are still looking at decent earnings. There are companies with pricing power and stocks that generate income, a 60-40 portfolio is not properly positioned in periods such as this where inflation is running hotter than bond yields.

3. Armando Garza Sada:

   Normally, if it ends up being lasting, a devaluation of 10 percent, prices could rise between 2 and 3 percent, i'm sure the Banco de Mexico won't let the devaluation hit inflation.

4. Robert Reich:

   The people you're drafting into the fight against inflation when you raise interest rates and slow the economy are the most vulnerable, the purpose of raising interest rates is to take the air out of the sails of the economy. If it works, you are, by definition, going to have fewer jobs. Even small increases in interest rates, if they have the desired effect, will cause job losses and wage losses.

5. Charlie Crist:

   Look at what he's —President Biden —done for our country. He's been exceptional, look what he's done for the world… what's happening in Ukraine, him bringing NATO together, new members to NATO –Finland, Sweden. It's remarkable. What other president could've done what he's done? He's been phenomenal. Gas prices are down. Inflation is trending down. Democracy is trending up.
