In today's Wall Street Truthbomb, Chief Investment Officer Mark Malek breaks down why cooling PCE headlines, slowing GDP, and a Fed rate hold are hiding a much hotter economic reality underneath.Mark uncovers the shadow data inside the GDP release, showing why the Gross Domestic Purchases Price Index spiked to 5.7% while the Federal Reserve sat on its hands in a divided 9-3 vote.
