The 2.3% rate of annual inflation was the lowest rate since February 2021, right before supply-chain snarls and pent-up consumer demand sent inflation soaring.
“Pent-up consumer demand” is a funny way of saying trillions of newly printed dollars

Too late Jerome won't stop playing politics though.

Inflation was 2.9% in 2024 and currently on course to be 2.4% for 2025. 50 bps drop in inflation after 100 bps cut in rates because, and say this with me, inflation is a product of money supply.

Thanks for making this point.

For inflation to explode we need the money supply to increase and in order for the money supply to increase congress needs to pass more irresponsible spending bills. The chances of that happening are pretty good.

Why are you guys so obsessed with the interest rates at this point? Heck they will probably be raising soon given the boom to the economy

Probably a few mortgage brokers on this board.

And no help from Jerome Powell.
You have that completely backwards. What Trump wants Powell to do is cut rates so that the economy will get a burst of activity. This would make the CPI go higher. You can blame Powell if things grind to a halt and recession ensues; you can’t simultaneously say that the CPI is low in spite of Powell.
Powell is getting criticized on this board, but he might be right. Trump wants the economy to explode; Powell wants the economy to gradually turn up. I guess there is the possibility that many on this board believe, which is that Powell wants poor economic performance in order to sink Trump, but that is unlikely imo.
I want to point out that Powell is in a tough spot. Fed Chairman have gotten very good at managing the economy inside of some very steady boundaries, but the current situation of tariffs going on and off is unprecedented in modern times, so he has no case to which he can compare it.

Your point is valid about the true inflation, but the Fed’s target of 2% is based on a particular metric. If it was based on Trueflation the target woud be different, like maybe 1.3%.

Because they've been disciplined with the interest rate.

Raised 15 or cents overnight in BR.
I’m assuming it’s because Memorial day/summer is around the corner and ‘recession’ fears subsided according to the ‘experts’
Hoping for $2.30 gas prices of BBL stays sub $62

Its a fake number. And we are below it using their own metrics. Unless the BLS is using a tard shelter # which they are. Which is why this report isnt below 2%
Orange wants rates to get cut cause of the debt needed to refi. Jerome just admitted hes too late jerome. Cutting 1% isnt going to cause mass inflation. Just like the last cut didnt
