Show Notes

The Federal Reserve grapples with a challenging decision as it concludes its two-day meeting. The war in Iran has escalated oil prices, causing gas prices to surge nationwide. Meanwhile, the economy displays mixed signals, with inflation remaining steady and job growth stagnating. The Fed faces conflicting pressures: cutting rates to combat job losses or maintaining them to control prices. A judge recently dismissed Justice Department subpoenas targeting the Fed, but prosecutors intend to appeal. As Chair Powells term nears its end, markets eagerly await any indication on rates amidst the looming risk of stagflation.
