It's a big week for monetary policy in the US and South Africa (and the UK, Japan, Indonesia and a few others). Interest rates are too high in the US of A and the R of SA. Getting them down to "just right" will be a process, not an event, and expectations will adjust along the way. So, while much of the focus will be on whether the Fed cuts 25 or 50 bps on Wednesday, ths more important question is where rates settle, and why. In other words, rates can fall for good reasons (inflation is under control) or bad reasons (rising recession risks). **Cartoon from the New Yorker**
