HAPPY THOUGHTS with HASSETT: Imagine if oil prices start going back down because the situation resolves itself somehow

Hassett: "Imagine if oil prices start going back down because the situation resolves itself somehow, they you could be looking at an inflation close to zero. That's something the Fed needs to pay attention to."

What is going on? Negotiations? China told Trump to bug off, markets are on a tear as core inflation subsides and oil falls.

Is anyone paying attention to Trump? Or Vance? Oil industry and military industrial complexes have been watered nicely, replenishment will be profitable.

The Fed may cut as the economy stalls.

My point being, who knows what's happening, and everyone is supposed to bet on what they don't know and aren't told.
