Listen now
Description
Inflation is in retreat - not at a pace fast enough for the Fed to abandon its stance of tighter monetary policy but enough that the Fed skipped a rate hike at its most recent policy meeting. During a pivotal two weeks of central bank meetings, where inflation remains top of mind, what now?

Drawing on PriceStats and State Street's other real-time data tools, Michael provides an up to the minute inflation reading and considers the likelihood of a prolonged pause in rate hikes and the prospect of rate cuts.
