Core PCE inflation well above target for the 5th month in a row. But, the situation less concerning than it looks (at least for the Fed) but some clearly transitory tariffs & imputed stuff.
Annual rates:
1 month: 2.8%

The Fed would have cut interest rates, but Trump's tariffs are preventing it.
Powell blames tariffs for rising costs.
Reckless tariffs are regressive taxes that hurt YOUR bank account.
The government shouldn’t be rigging markets on the backs of working folks.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
