- The drop in inflation is strengthening the case the US will avoid a recession, economist Paul McCulley said.
- The former chief economist of PIMCO pointed to June CPI, which showed inflation eased to 3%.
- Cooling prices in the economy is exactly what the Fed and markets want to see, he said.
McCulley pointed to the Consumer Price Index report on Wednesday, which showed prices slowing to just a 3% year-over-year increase last month. That's the lowest inflation reading in over two years, and it's well-below where prices were in July 2022, when headline inflation clocked in at 8.5%.
The drop in inflation is strengthening the case that the US can avoid a recession after all, despite markets eyeing an imminent downturn for most of the past year.
And the good news keeps on coming. Thank You Bidenomics. All MAGAs are concerned with is trying to cover Trumps ass in the House. Their message of doom and gloom on matters economic are going bye-bye.
