- How have the financial markets performed over the past couple of weeks?
- What are the important elements in the September employment report?
- Are you surprised that US GDP growth has remained so strong (GDPNow forecast of 2.5%) for the third quarter 2024? Most economists were projecting less than a 2.0% annualized pace for the quarter.
- Does the US port strike cause concern that inflation will re-emerge as a problem in 2025?
- What will be the impact of Saudi Arabia boosting crude oil output?
- Will the Chinese stimulus (fiscal and monetary) provide a boost to emerging market equities?
- Are you expecting the Fed to cut rates at the next FOMC meeting on November 7th?
