Weekly Macro Brief: Inflation, the Fed, the Consumer
​In this week's Macro Brief we discuss the Fed's preferred PCE inflation measure given the surprising CPI report for January, we provide thoughts on the monetary policy outlook in the wake of Yellen's testimony and other fedspeak, and we highlight consumer trends following this week's reports on retail sales and household debt. Our chart of the week illustrates the decline in the real fed funds rate as the FOMC has started normalizing interest rates.
