  • Interest rate assumptions in Biden’s budget plan were 'reasonable' and consistent with a broad range of forecasts
  • US taking steps to ensure that domestic electric vehicle industry is successful in the face of Chinese competition
  • Tax credit rules on foreign entities of concern will make it increasingly difficult for u.s.-Produced evs to contain Chinese battery content
  • Asked if more US tariffs were needed on Chinese EVs, says Biden is committed to ensuring that US EV industry is successful

Yellen's comments on pre-pandemic interest rate levels ... yeah she is correct for the foreseeable future at least. Of course, never say never in financial markets but the with fed funds north of 5% and inflation ticky we ain't gonna see zero and just above for a long time.
