Last week's disappointing GDP news and uptick in a key inflation gauge (Personal Consumption Expenditures) have up-ended Wall Street hopes for an imminent rate cut. The news was also a major setback for the White House, which is desperate to put inflation behind them in time for the election. Reflecting what inflation reports have shown, the electorate has picked up on the warning signs of an inflation resurgence.

From our new survey for Winning the Issues (April 27-29), there has been an increase in the percentage saying inflation is getting worse - now at 60% - rather than better (16%) or not changing (21%).

This week's economic news was not good for the White House. On April 25, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported the first quarter GDP increased only 1.6% according to their advance estimate. This was below the 2.4% expected estimate by economists surveyed by the WSJ. Additionally, the year-over-year Personal Consumption Expenditures index rose from 2.5% in February to 2.7% in March, mirroring the increase seen in the CPI as it went from 3.2% in February to 3.5% in March. Now there are concerns that inflation may be rebounding. This scenario means the Federal Reserve is likely to keep rates higher for longer, dashing hopes for rate cuts that Wall Street desperately wants.

"Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch," Biden posted on Twitter, now known as X, in August 2020. "Under his leadership. During his presidency."
