Econ Forecast for February 16-21, 2025 + A Word About Last Week's PI Numbers
February 16th, 2025 at 11:40 am ESTHi Folks. Last week I mentioned the Fed was likely sacrificing live chickens in an attempt to get a higher inflation number on CPI, justifying their refusal to cut rates at their last meeting. And it sure worked out well, for them anyway. CPI came ...

Econ Forecast for January 12-17, 2025
January 12th, 2025 at 2:24 pm ESTHi Folks. Here is this week's forecast. SUNDAY: A slow start to the week. New Zealand issues a forgettable number 15 minutes before the markets open so that's a non-issue. Japan has a holiday today (Monday for them) and while Australia has a pair o ...
