OP's equation for the Taylor Rule is...unorthodox [1]. For those who don't want to calculate equilibrium real interest rates and take logarithms of linear trends of GDPs, the Fed has a heat map tool [2].

It says 7 to 9%, using defaults. Higher than 3%. But within the model's error bars. (All that said, I have more confidence in inflation being manageable than rates remaining below 3%. Trading on that hunch, however, would require fighting the Fed. You don't fight the Fed.)
