Catch-Up
The picture is unchanged: September policy remains finely balanced, with even an in-line inflation print seen as enough to keep a rate increase in play.

Current Views
Labor supply will shrink as deaths eventually exceed new working-age entrants, while immigration is unlikely to resume before January 2029 at the earliest.
AI will expand quantitative analysis by making large datasets faster to process, increasing demand for demonstrable, data-driven research over the future.
Federal Reserve has a 50/50 chance of raising rates in September, with consensus inflation or a slight beat likely sufficient to preserve that outcome.
