Economic Resilience and Fed Policies
Current data suggests that the U.S. economy is resilient, with positive indicators such as decreasing jobless claims and increased GDP. This has led to discussions about whether the Federal Reserve's rate cuts were implemented too early, especially with the potential for a soft landing.
