All right, so we've had a few pieces of data trickle out in the last few weeks. If you put them together, what story are they telling?

Now, about a month ago, we started to hear murmurings that GDP for the first quarter could be negative. Can you talk a little bit about how GDP has behaved over the last few years and what last week's data means for the economy?

We got fresh inflation data last week, and the core PCE increased by 2.3% in the past 12 months. Now, for those who don't know, core PCE is a measure of prices for goods and services minus volatile food and energy. And it's the Federal Reserve's preferred indicator of inflation. Elizabeth, is inflation still coming down compared to previous months or are we in sticky territory?

Now, that index measures consumers' short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions. Whenever the expectations index falls below a threshold of 80, it signals a recession may be ahead. The index for the past three months had been well below 80. What's worrying consumers right now?

Now, as you mentioned, the big economic news story over the last three months has been President Trump's tariffs and the trade war that's increasingly heating up. But are we seeing the effects of those tariffs showing up in the data yet?
