Introduction:

In today’s episode, we unpack some critical developments shaping the financial landscape. First, Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee urges caution on aggressive interest rate cuts, highlighting persistent inflation and slower economic growth as reasons to proceed gradually. We’ll examine how this internal Fed debate complicates the central bank’s path forward and its implications for future rate decisions. Next, Fed Chair Jerome Powell describes U.S. stock prices as “fairly highly valued,” even after a recent rate cut, signaling a desire to temper speculative excesses in the market. We’ll explore what this means for investor sentiment and the Fed’s evolving stance on supporting asset prices. Finally, we analyze the significant slowdown in single-family rent growth, with once-booming markets like Miami hitting a plateau. This shift serves as a leading indicator for inflation trends and could influence the timing of future monetary policy moves.
