  The Road to the Midterms: Jobs, Inflation, and Energy

  Oct 2, 202635 min

  This week on the Macrocast , the team breaks down a weaker-than-expected September jobs report, with just 29,000 jobs added and the unemployment rate ticking up as the labor force expanded. They also discuss softer wage growth, the latest PCE inflation data, and why markets have pulled back expectations for an October Federal Reserve rate hike. With the midterms approaching, the conversation turns to the policy issues likely to shape the months ahead. The team covers energy-market uncertainty and the potential consequences of a U.S. crude oil export ban, pressure in European debt markets, and recent movement on Capitol Hill around permitting reform and college sports legislation.

  Fall Outlook for the U.S. Consumer ft. John Dick

  Sep 11, 202639 min

  This week, the Macrocast team is joined by frequent contributor John Dick of CivicScience to take the pulse of the U.S. consumer heading into the fall. The latest Economic Sentiment Index showed only a slight improvement, reflecting a consumer who is still unsettled. Americans feel conflicted about their own finances and the job market but remain downbeat on the broader economy. With inflation still weighing on household budgets, caution is creeping into decisions around major purchases, investments, and financial security. The team also breaks down the latest inflation data and what it could mean for the Federal Reserve’s next move. They dig into the Treasury’s proposed bond buyback program and what it could signal for Washington’s fiscal posture and the national debt. The episode closes with a look at central-bank developments in Europe and Japan. For more about the hosts, please see below: FTP Markets Policy Partners CivicScience

  Labor Day Edition: Jobs, Fed, and What's Next

  Sep 4, 202632 min

  This week's episode covers August's jobs report, which beat expectations with solid job growth and upward revisions to prior months. The strong data pushed up the odds of a September rate hike, though dovish comments from Governor Christopher Waller left the team divided on the Fed's next move. They also previewed upcoming PPI and CPI data, plus global pressures like elevated EU inflation and continued supply chain strain. On geopolitics, the team discussed rising China tensions ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. Ed Hill wrapped up with a Capitol Hill update: the House's continuing resolution avoiding a shutdown, prospects for the Clarity Act, and early betting market odds on the midterms.
