A bevy of market signals have alarmed investors: oil prices slipping, a surprise Nasdaq rally, a yield curve inversion. As inflation remains elevated and recession fears loom over the markets, the Federal Reserve and the Biden administration balance their respective toolsets to mitigate pressure on the American economy. Austan Goolsbee, former CEA chairman and Booth School of Business professor, and fellow economist Michael Strain, director of economic policy at AEI, discuss whether their strategies are enough to avoid a deep recession. In other headlines, the FDA has temporarily paused the ban on Juul e-cigarettes, and senators are urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate TikTok.
