Navigating Uncertainty: Inflation, Interest Rates, and Recession Risks (Episode 126)

In this episode, C.A.R. economists discuss the latest concerns about the economy and the odds of a recession. We dive into how some of the macroeconomic variables are affecting everything from retail sales slowing down to consumer confidence hitting its lowest point since 2021. And while inflation appears to be ok for now, recently implemented tariffs could create headwinds in coming months. Interest rates may also remain elevated as the the Fed suggests that they could "wait-and-see" for a little longer.
