Macrocast by FTP & Markets Policy Partners
Unpacking the Labor Slowdown and the Fed's New Playbook
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on the Macrocast, the team analyzes the latest jobs report numbers, including labor market pressures and a surprising contraction in the leisure and hospitality sector. The discussion then turns to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's debut at a central bank conference in Portugal, where his focus on inflation and a lack of forward guidance left markets weighing potential rate hikes ahead of the midterm elections. The episode also covers key policy updates from Washington, including the bipartisan passage of a housing bill through Congress, before closing with a look at the World Cup.
From the entire team, Happy Fourth of July, and stay cool in the heat!
