May 13, 2025S17E25: Inflation Eases & McDonald's Struggles: What’s Behind the Numbers? (Market Outsiders: May 13, 2025)
Send us Fan Mail
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.
