Episode 363
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Today's Macro Minute explores whether the Federal Reserve should tighten monetary policy in 2026 following June's softer-than-expected CPI report. Darius explains why slowing inflation has reduced the probability of near-term Fed tightening, while arguing that policymakers may still choose to tighten cyclically to create scope for more substantial easing in 2027 and 2028.
