Additional takeaways
"Global spillovers expected from coordinated central bank tightening have not really materialized."
"Could be short run price impacts of things like re-shoring production, but should not imply ongoing inflationary price increases."
"Banks deal with interest rate risk all the time and most have done fine with it."
"Reliance on forward guidance means policy lag is not the same as it used to be, makes conditions tighten faster."
