Introduction:

In today’s episode, we begin with billionaire Ken Griffin’s warning that persistent 3% inflation will undermine hopes for a dovish market, emphasizing the need for Federal Reserve independence amid political pressures. We’ll analyze why his hawkish inflation outlook contrasts sharply with current market expectations and what this means for future Fed rate policies. Next, we cover the surprising drop in U.S. jobless claims alongside a robust 3.8% GDP growth, highlighting the stark disconnect with the Fed’s recent rate cut. We’ll explore how this wave of strong economic data challenges the Fed’s dovish stance and the implications for investors anticipating further rate reductions. Finally, we dive into the U.S. auto market’s fear-driven boom, fueled by buyers rushing to avoid tariff increases and a looming $7,500 tax credit expiration. This discussion reveals how this temporary surge in demand creates a short-term sales boost but may lead to a sharp downturn in the near future.
