Barr sticks to the Fed script.

  • US economy on sound footing, unemployment low and steady, disinflation has continued
  • Inflation set to rise due to tariffs
  • Tariffs may also cause economy to slow, unemployment to rise

He's in the wait-and-see mode, which isn't a surprise. Odds of a July cut are back down to 18% from 25% yesterday at the Bowman peak.
