Economic Commentary Finally. After months of back and forth and speculation, the Federal Reserve has lowered its benchmark rate by 0.25%. While the August job numbers combined with the substantial downward revisions of jobs added during the past year pretty well clinched the fact that the Fed was likely to lower rates, there was still a decent amount of speculation...” Read More

August 26, 2025 – The Threat of Stagflation

Economic Commentary Judging by the jobs numbers for the past three months, the markets are calling for a rate decrease by the Federal Reserve at their next meeting in the middle of next month.

August 20, 2025 – Shooting The Messenger

Economic Commentary One week after discussing the importance of the Chairman of the Federal Reserve’s tenuous position, the economy received somewhat of an “aftershock.” Rarely do we use the word aftershock when discussing the economy. It is quite often that we are subjected to economic shocks, many of which are surprises such as natural disasters, pandemics and more. But aftershocks...” Read More

July 29, 2025 – The Trifecta Hits as the Month Comes to a Close

Economic Commentary Every month we have important economic data releases and events. But only a few times per year do we have the most important releases lined up during the same week.

July 22, 2025 – Back To The Fed

Economic Commentary It has been a busy month with regard to economic news. We started the month with the passage of a huge tax and spending bill and the release of a stronger-than-expected jobs report.
