Chicago Fed Pres. Goolsby is on the wires saying
- US GDP and labor market are basically stable
- The weak retail sales represents one month of data
- Continued spending weakness could be worrying
- supported the July rate decision
- Notes is that the past two productivity data releases were very poor. If it persists, it could change the AI narrative
- Encouraged by CPI reports and need more data
Goolsbee tends to go with the flow. He can be more hawkish or more dovish. His comments on productivity are a concern for for inflation and have implications for US stocks.
