Episode notes
Shutdowns Rarely Tip The Economy
- Dave expects a short government shutdown with limited economic impact unless it becomes prolonged.
- Markets have largely priced shutdown risk already and remain focused on AI spending and economic data.
PCE Print Is Neutral For Fed Moves
- Core PCE came in at 2.9% year over year, matching forecasts.
- Dave sees this print as neutral for Fed decision-making in the short term.
Stronger GDP Injects Fed Uncertainty
- Revised Q2 GDP rose to 3.8%, higher than earlier estimates and briefly cut Fed-cut odds.
- Markets later rebounded and still expect October and December cuts, though volatility may rise.
