Yeah, the Fed is very clearly going to want a lot more data.
They want some trends here that they can operate off of.
And the job market is clearly not hot, but it's not in a particularly bad place.
As Courtney said, the job growth has on average been probably better than expected, because you have to remember that we were not expecting very high payroll growth for the last year and a half, given that immigration is being choked off.
by the Trump administration quite deliberately.
And so to see continued job growth, to see that despite what's happening with immigration, despite all of the chatter about AI replacing workers, none of that has happened yet.
Those are all perhaps longer term concerns.
And so for the Fed, they've got to be still concerned about inflation.
They've been above their 2% target for five years.
It's not a pretty picture in terms of their credibility right now.
And, yes, the Iran war may be abating, may not, in this ceasefire period.
But they also have supply shortages, Apple raising prices due to the cost of chips, a lot of things happening that have got to have consumers unsettled.
And so the Fed needs to figure out how to get that back on target, but they don't want to make any rash moves at this very moment.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I want to take a minute to talk about one of the big headlines of the week.
The Supreme Court basically saying, hey, President, go ahead.
You can fire the leaders of a lot of these independent agencies, just not when it comes to the Fed.
The Fed is special.
Courtney, what should we take away from these rulings and what could they mean for economic policy in this country?
Yeah.
