The Fed lowered rates 0.25% today. Powell's key (paraphrased) remarks are below:
"We expect tariff-driven goods inflation to build the rest of this year & into next year."
"The tariff passthrough to consumer prices has so far been slower and smaller than expected."
"This rate…
Aug retail sales growth came in strong (even after accounting for higher inflation) & better than expected.
Consumer spending in Q3 appears to be resilient in the face of tariff-based price hikes & a softening labor market.

Today's headlines: "In August, employment increased by only 22k."
Except we're very uncertain about that number. It's better to think about job creation in terms of a range...
"August's change in nonfarm payrolls was likely between -114k and +158k."
Employment may have declined over the last 3 months (first box below).
Regardless, the lack of breadth in job creation is concerning. For 5 consecutive months, <50% of industries have created jobs.
The only major industry that we can be confident added jobs over the last 3…

Stocks, bonds, gold, and bitcoin are surging--and the dollar is falling--in reaction to Powell's speech this morning.
He suggested that the risk to employment has grown, so modestly restrictive monetary policy is likely less appropriate now.
The probability of a rate cut in Sep…
It's early, but a good start for Q3 consumer spending.
We'll be watching to see if tariff-based price hikes & a softening labor market weigh on spending in the months ahead.
Friday's retail sales report revealed a surprisingly resilient consumer.
3-month sales growth (orange line) is the highest it's been in a year. However, with goods inflation accelerating, growth is likely less impressive on a real basis.
Tariffs are having an uneven impact on goods inflation.
A couple categories are seeing prices rise, while others have been unaffected, so far at least.
From vision to legacy. 💙

However, the labor market appears to remain in balance as the unemployment rate is unchanged from a year ago.
As job creation has slowed, so too has the labor force due to reduced immigration & lower labor force participation.
Payroll growth with a big downside surprise both in July and in May & June (due to large downward revisions).
In the last 3 months, job creation in the private sector has slowed, state & local has flatlined, and federal has been negative.
