more. So kind seems just bit like steady to lower hold dig to little wanted the NIM half trajectory of little here. of It from to NIM a back maybe looking bit the the year a you're for into

a little Just we wanted be know X% into dig of funding. more and components deposit OSA to should the about bit I about at the have how trajectory thinking your maybe today. the you

And I that to just OSA already is about you're just your today, is your guiding You're competition realize the given about on above that an X.XX%. CD of competitors But X.X%. of raised one today.

funding XXXX? longer you're and Just we thinking higher how offsetting for maybe into wondering thinking rate should environment about how costs be about

Bradley Brown

take I'll a stab. Jeff. Sure, Yeah.

we say I know I perspective, pricing X%. deposit a from are at guess I So

look how week. another the we at If of through cycle, and expect journey that market hike timing we've priced does next here the right, the of kind kind you

that think I liquid portfolio well you pressure all competition, as is we I importantly, hike that we're in what would well. rates, that And paying of rates that those about as all are other as balance intense towards, embedded we then in that continued -- I anticipate the terms when say will just factored on as right, certainly in yield then about, we expect in And well. we migrate So the that said, talked of well. the is provided, elements our guidance as Fed

So the which a deposit driver. pricing that's is huge side,
