The last inflation print in the US was 5% for March down from over 9% recorded last June so if a debt settlement can be reached in sufficient time then there is a possibility that the Federal Reserve will consider stabilizing interest rates and looking ahead to reductions then there should be a better environment for the start of a bull market.
