How could that be, we were told tariffs would make prices go through the roof. Let me guess, next CPI report?

Why is it that you feel so strongly that interest rates need to be cut at this time?

I think interest rates are perfect for the time being. Let this tariff stuff settle and get a budget passed.

The July meeting would be the one to drop it if things don't come in higher in June data. June will be when we start seeing the potential for the tariff price increases to hit the market. In theory, tariffs should only cause a one time hit to inflation, but you never know with the current admin what happens tomorrow. If data from June is lower than expected, I think one more drop and then hold steady for a while.

Target inflation is 2%. The fact that it came in at 2.3% instead of the projected 2.4% isn’t a reason to cut rates. Some of you are such silly political parrots.

And we are below that. Yes I know you think the BLS that overstated jobs by 1mil is legit

Let’s pretend for a second that I take you seriously: how far below, and how many months in a row have we been there?

If you use BLS for your data then you can never be taken serious

1.6-1.8% and its been this way for about 60 days

The tariffs that were paused before they went into effect because everything was crashing?

Trueflation. Which will be discredited yet the BLS is the gold standard

They use real time rents which BLS still uses the lagging survey

Even if I accepted those numbers as true, do you think 60 days at 20-40 basis points below target is really sufficient to justify a rate decrease? Would 60 days of 20-40 basis points above target justify a rate increase?

Well its below target and yes Too late Jerome needs to cut and stop playing politics

Its amazing how you tards think a .25-1% is going to ignite inflation yo levels like we saw from the last Admin

Jerome said it was transitory in 21 and why he didnt need to raise. Hes a major part of why rates were 8%
