Q: I am relatively new to investing and started when the pandemic began. Since I started I feel like my learning has been like drinking from a fire hose. More of an education question: now that inflation continues to increase and central banks do what they can to slow it down, I am wondering under what conditions do central banks start to look at reducing interest rates again.
