Quick Glance: Trump's 60% Tariff on China, 10% Elsewhere to Raise US Inflation: Model
- The proposed tariff plan by Donald Trump could potentially cause inflation to exceed the Federal Reserve's target, leading to a possible increase in interest rates.
- Analysis indicates that implementing Trump's plan would negatively impact US growth and raise living costs for Americans.
- Experts predict that the proposed tariff measure could push the Fed's preferred price index for personal consumption expenditures to 3.7% by the end of next year, significantly higher than policymakers' target of 2%.
- Trump's proposed plans might result in a 2.5% increase in consumer prices and a 0.5% decrease in gross domestic product after two years, leaving the Fed with the decision to adjust interest rates accordingly.

Quick Glance: US February Inflation Data Aligns with Fed's Expectations, Powell States
- The latest U.S. inflation data aligns with what the Federal Reserve wants to see, according to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data released on Friday matched expectations and showed less of a slowdown than last year. However, Powell emphasized that the February report did not undermine the Fed's baseline outlook.
- Some details of the PCE data showed improvements in inflation aspects considered important by the Fed, even though the overall numbers showed little progress in the first two months of the year. Last week, the Fed kept its benchmark overnight interest rate steady at 5.25%-5.50% and narrowly confirmed the baseline projection of a 0.75 percentage point rate decrease by the end of this year.
- Powell has had to reconcile expectations for rate cuts with data indicating a slowdown, if not a halt, in the improvement of inflation numbers in recent weeks. He stated that recent high inflation does not alter the overall narrative of easing price pressures, but acknowledged that the recent data cannot be completely dismissed as a sign of slowed progress.

Biden and Trump ask voters if they're 'better off' than they were 4 years ago. It's complicated
apnews.com/article/biden-trump-voters-pandemic-era-economy-inflation-597f4f2f2b2e32d8933802e37ef66913
Quick Glance: Biden Contrasts Himself with Trump Through 'Are You Better Off Today' Question
- President Joe Biden used the 'are you better off today than you were four years ago' question as a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump, reminding voters of the challenges during Trump's term.
- Biden also criticized Trump for his 'bloodbath' comment, emphasizing the need to reject political violence. He redirected the narrative by focusing on the 'better off' theme and highlighted the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.
- Furthermore, Biden underscored the progress made since Trump's presidency, including COVID-19 control, the return of 15 million jobs, and stock market recovery. Biden's campaign sees a resurgence of interest in a Biden-Trump rematch among voters.
- The article also mentions Biden's comments on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his support for Rep. Colin Allred, positioning Cruz as an ally of Trump. Biden conveyed the message that the focus should be on Trump's intentions and actions, rather than on himself.
