Hey everyone, it's Larry Bailey. This is for the Week of February 12, 2024, in Review:

  • Consumer Inflation Above Forecasts
  • Hot Wholesale Inflation a Surprise
  • Home Builder Confidence at 6-Month High
  • Home Construction Slowed in January
  • Retail Sales Tumble to Start the Year
  • Challenges Remain for Job Seekers
