Deep dives

Soft landing camp and declining inflation

The podcast discusses the concept of a 'soft landing' in the economy and how recent data supports this view. Inflation has decreased more than expected, with core PC inflation below the Fed's target at 1.9%. Additionally, the Atlanta Fed's tracking of Q4 GDP estimates growth at 2%, aligning with long-term trends. This environment of moderate growth and declining inflation is seen as positive, with real incomes remaining positive and giving consumers more spending power.
