Market Sees Rising Inflation and Weak Labor Market – Will Fed Change Their Tune?

Chris Maxey says that companies are beginning to pass tariff costs onto consumers going into the fall. He thinks the market is anticipating rising inflation and a weak labor market: he even expects further revisions downwards for June. However, “the door is still wide open” for a rate cut in September. He doesn’t believe inflation will be transitory, as some believe, and says a lot of uncertainty lies ahead into the end of the year.
