Show Notes

Aleks Spencer calls the Fed meeting yesterday about “risk management.” He contrasts the ‘70s and ‘80s when inflation jumped to what’s happening now, seeing different economic stories and different consumer stories. He expects another rate cut next meeting, with possibly another to follow. Aleks discusses why the Fed aims for a 2% inflation rate and opines on whether that standard is outdated.
