Recession, Recession, Recession? 7/28/22

The Federal Reserve has once again hiked interest rates by 0.75%, but the markets breathed a sigh of relief at the central bank’s signal that the peak hikes might be behind us. Today’s GDP data revealed a second consecutive quarter of contraction in the US economy, which traditionally would constitute a recession; however, Fed Chair Jay Powell does not believe our country to be in a recession, despite the data. He, President Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and other economists are considering a different definition of “recession.” Former Vice Chair of the Fed Roger Ferguson unpacks the latest rate hike and the various components of a true recession. Whether or not we’re in one, consumers are feeling inflation’s squeeze on their wallets. President of Kraft Heinz North America Carlos Abrams-Rivera discusses the pressure on American families in the grocery store, and shares ways he’s hoping to keep mac & cheese and the rest of his portfolio accessible through a downturn. Plus, Meta reported its first ever revenue decline, and Washington is negotiating about a trillion dollars of new spending, including a new chapter of the Build, Back, Better agenda, following Sen. Joe Manchin’s surprising deal on certain key issues for Democrats.
