So the jobs have not been getting lost and they have not been shed at a mass scale yet.So it's hard to decide whether we're in a recession or not when job strength is so good. But wage growth has started to decline, but so has inflation a little bit, but still very high. So the price of goods and services is still high.2022-07-3017 min

It's widely expected at least 75 basis points. But some people think it maybe 100 basis points. We're seeing home sales slowing still at an elevated pace, but it's slowing. So it's less good news. That's the result of higher interest rates, which we saw, starting at the beginning of this year. So the economy will feel those effects as the Fed bonds and banks have higher interest...2022-07-2206 min

KP Talks Dollars and SenseEpisode 22: Is the Economy on the Verge of a Major Shift?Liquidity and credit are the next two big things to watch besides labor. If labor started to crack and the Fed is raising interest rates, maybe there's another 75 basis points for sure coming at the July meeting. And then there's another meeting by September. That is making credit more expensive.There's a difference between credit and cash. Cash on hand is cash. Credit is what banks are willing to offer and extend.
