Joe Brusuelas sees no catalysts to increase monthly hiring but thinks the labor market is making enough new jobs to remain stable. He anticipates inflation around 3% and explains how that will affect financial markets vs consumer sentiment. Joe doubts the Fed will move rates at its upcoming meeting but sees the press conference afterwards as incredibly important as Powell is asked about Fed independence. He is “quite concerned” about new Fed members who just want to cut rates rather than looking at the data; all his indicators say the Fed has eased “a little too much.”
