Inflation and Federal Reserve Policy

  • πŸ“Š The latest CPI report shows topline inflation at 3.5% and core inflation at 3.6% on three-month annualized intervals, well above the Fed's 2% target.
  • πŸ“ˆ Goods prices are also elevated, with topline at 3% and core at 2.8%.
  • ❓ Kudlow questions whether the Fed should accommodate even one-time price hikes with lower interest rates, especially given the current inflation figures.

Market Performance and Economic Outlook

  • πŸ’° The economy shows potential for a business boom, fueled by Trump's tax cuts and deregulation efforts.
