In this follow-up episode, we dive deeper into the only story that matters right now: the Federal Reserve’s impossible balancing act. With inflation ticking back up, job growth slowing, and the Fed’s dual mandate pulling in opposite directions, Jerome Powell and company are officially stuck between a rock and a hard place.

We break down why the Fed quietly ended Quantitative Tightening (QT) on December 1st, what QT actually is, and why this move has Wall Street buzzing about a potential shift back toward Quantitative Easing (QE). We also dig into the upcoming Fed rate decision, the short-term “good news” it could bring, and the long-term risks that could make the next few years very bumpy.

Short-term relief… long-term consequences.
This is the Fed’s tightrope — and today, we’re walking it together.
