Market veteran Howard Marks says Fed is 'not going back' to ultra-low rates

When the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, it will not restore them to their post-financial crisis lows, according to veteran investor Howard Marks.

"The U.S. economy is doing quite well, and so it's not clear that it requires stimulus," Marks told CNBC's Frank Holland on Tuesday."One of these days we'll declare victory against inflation, and the Fed will take rates down to something moderate and sustainable. I think that's in the threes." "My thesis is, we're not going back there to rates of zero, or a half, or one. I think that that is unnecessary stimulus, and I don't think permanent stimulus is a good thing," he said.
