In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the most critical economic indicators that could shape the future of the economy—without the usual doom-and-gloom headlines. Are we really heading into a recession, or is it just a slowdown? We’re breaking down the latest insights, starting with the surprising drop in consumer sentiment. What does it mean for your spending habits and the future of the economy? But it's not all bad news—businesses are showing signs of optimism. We’ll explain why a surge in capital goods orders could signal a rebound in production and hiring, even as consumer sentiment dips. Plus, we’re bringing in some fresh supply-side indicators you might not be hearing about. How are worker attitudes shifting, and what’s the real impact of rising import prices on inflation? And here’s the twist: a sharp rise in economic uncertainty is causing both consumers and businesses to play it safe. Does this mean a slowdown or something more? Tune in as we explore these key indicators and reveal why the outlook is not as bleak as it seems.
