Rates/Economy

  • Current policy rate is likely around or slightly below neutral
  • Last jobs report was 'healthy', but still sees firms in a low-hire, low-fire environment

Communication

  • Would be an advantage if each Fed policy meeting were set to include two full months of economic data

Election

  • Hard to know the impact of the elections on the economy
  • Does not think ballot measures approved in recent elections will impede data centre expansion; firms will find somewhere to build
