Outlook: David Kotok
“The flow of new data suggests that rising Fed policy interest rates are becoming less and less likely,” David Kotok, a co-founder and the chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors in Sarasota, Fla., wrote in a note to clients on Sunday. Federal Reserve policymakers can’t afford to “ease off the rhetoric too soon,” Kotok wrote. “But I have always believed that the correct way to interpret the Fed is to look at what they do and not at what they say.”
