A Box Score Look At The Economy
December 18, 2024
I have been a baseball fan since I was a kid in California. During the baseball season I would snag my grandfather’s copy of the Oakland Tribune to read the box scores from the night before. And as the season waned toward the playoffs, it was doubly important to check the standings. I needed to see if my team was in first place or how hard they had to fight to get there.
Baseball fans have probably guessed that my team is the “Swingin’ A’s” – or better known as the Oakland Athletics.
I waited a little longer this week to send out our usual Tuesday E-Letter until now so I could report whether the Federal Reserve cut interest rates. We know now that they have.
So let’s take a “box score” look today at where the economy stands and what Jerome Powell and the Fed think 2025 holds in store.
