Episode notes
Market Froth Outweighs Consumer Price Worries
- Financial markets show froth with market cap many times GDP and high profit share.
- Additional Fed liquidity risks inflating asset bubbles more than raising CPI risks.
Expand Fed Focus To Include Financial Stability
- Extend the Fed's mandate to include financial stability to reduce bubble risks.
- Avoid cutting rates below neutral unless recession risks appear, to prevent asset overheating.

- Firms are defending margins by cutting costs rather than raising prices after tariff shocks.
- That strategy creates downside risk for the labor market as companies trim staff or expenses.
