Lettuce Discuss Inflation

from Moody's Talks - Inside Economics Hosted by Mark Zandi, Marisa DiNatale, Cris deRitis, Matt Colyar

The Inside Economics crew is joined by colleague Matt Colyar to run down the week’s slate of inflation and consumer data. Following the recap and a brief detour about lettuce consumption, each puts forward probabilities that the Fed will cut rates, hike rates, or stay put in the near term. The numbers game leads to a discussion of the series the group would put on their Mount Rushmore – an exercise Mark is completely unfamiliar with and blames on the group’s generational divide.
