Fed Holds Rates as GDP Slows: What Businesses Should Watch Next | Fed Watch

from ITR Economics · host ITR Economics

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Connor Lokar breaks down the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady and why Chairman Kevin Warsh says it's time for markets to "play the ball, not the referee." As businesses continue navigating inflation uncertainty, slowing economic growth, and pressure on consumers, what should leaders actually be paying attention to? Connor explains why the Fed is stepping back from forward guidance, what recent GDP data signals about the economy, and what to watch as we head into the fall. Are markets focused on the right signals, or are they paying too much attention to every word from the Fed? 👍 Like, subscribe, and let us know in the comments: What economic indicator are you watching most closely right now?
