In this Tuesday episode of Market Outsiders, Namaan and Jenny Rae dissect the April CPI data, showing a lower-than-expected core inflation rate, signaling stability despite tariff uncertainties. 

Jenny Rae then shares a jarring McDonald's visit, with empty dining areas and sluggish service, pointing to operational hiccups rather than inflation-driven consumer retreat. Comparing McDonald's to peers like Chick-fil-A, they question if its in-store strategy is faltering and what this means for its future.
