Episode notes
Geopolitical Impact On Markets
- Geopolitical conflicts like Israel-Iran tensions cause oil and gold price surges, impacting global inflation expectations.
- Yet markets often fade such news quickly unless credit spreads widen, which signals deeper risks.
Disinflation Meets Labor Market Fragility
- This week's CPI showed disinflation mainly due to airline fares and gasoline dropping.
- However, labor market weakness with rising jobless claims signals fragility despite still low layoffs.

- Fed likely to cut rates soon, using adjustments to economic data for justification.
