Here come the tariffs

Fed minutes today.  Let's see what they say about inflation caused by tariffs.

Market desperately needs a rate cut or look out below.

With U.S. economic growth surging in the second quarter, President Donald J. Trump has proven the so-called “experts” wrong once again as he presides over tame inflation, blue-collar wage growth, explosive job creation, and a “Made in America” boom.

Here’s what they’re saying about the GDP report:

Economist E.J. Antoni: “This GDP report, I mean, really, is an absolute blockbuster. It completely defies expectation. It is not only a good headline number, it has good internals, as well.”

Economist Steve Moore: “This is an amazing number … We’re seeing lots of jobs. We’re seeing tame inflation. It is really a beautiful picture … It’s hard to see anything to complain about. I’m sure Democrats will find something they don’t like.”

Bullseye Brief author Adam Johnson: “The GDP Price Index was only 2% and the expectation was 2.2%. In other words, we have an economy growing at 3%; we have inflation at 2%. That’s the best of both words, so I’m very positive on that report.”

Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz: “The U.S. economy grew by an annualized 3% in the second quarter of the year—yet another data point that supports an interest rate cut by the Fed. Trump’s three-legged stool is working: balancing trade, cutting taxes, and slashing regulations are creating an economic boom.”

I don't think we should put too much into GDP.  If the number is improving as you state above, I infer that I will temporarily enjoy the concurrence of our liberal associates here....since their only way of thinking is political power-centric.....but I will take it.
