On this episode of The Rate Guy Podcast we dig a little deeper into the recent Jobs Report and discuss the underlying data that should be getting attention, CPI, the ECB cutting and how all of that may affect this week's Fed meeting.
On this episode of The Rate Guy, JP draws a parallel between the Penn State and Fed search for their next leader.

If you want to see Philly Elementary kids go off on Dallas player themed heavy bags (yeah, you read that right) click here. Hope you all have a great Holiday this week!
On this episode of The Rate Guy, we talk about JP's love of all things Texas (well, maybe not the lobster mac & cheese), dig into the latest private-sector jobs data, and break down where we see interest rates heading in 2026 — plus why the impact on the 10T looks completely binary.

We walk through four possible rate paths for 2026, from holding steady to cutting below 3%, and what each means for borrowers. We also talk about the impact on fixed rates, swaps and caps.
On this epidode of The Rate Guy we're breaking down this Thursday's CPI release — why the market will probably react even though it's full of noise, what could drive the 10-year Treasury to 3.62%, and the one signal that could tell us the Fed won't cut rates at the next meeting.
On this episode of The Rate Guy we answer the question we've gotten a lot this week..."If the Federal government is still shut down on Oct. 29, will the Fed meet and make a decision about rates?" We answer that and many more about how Fed cuts will effect the 10 year treasury and why the US is still the world's mattress.

This week on The Rate Guy, we talk about the wild aftermath of Friday's shocking jobs report—highlighting one of the biggest downward revisions since April 2020.

We also unpack the growing odds of a rate cut in September, what to watch for in the search for a new Fed Governor, and how this all sets the stage for a chaotic lead-up to Jackson Hole. It's a week without major data releases, but the calm may not last.
We take one week off and everything goes haywire. What in the world?! This week on The Rate Guy, we're unpacking the chaos of last week, previewing a data-heavy week ahead, and digging into how markets and rates might respond. Also, a heartfelt RIP to the icons we lost. Our childhood nostalgia definitely took a hit.

Conklin is unaware how to interpret the Participation Rate. He SHOULD know he's gaslighting with the misuse of it, but Participation is more of a gauge of the aging out of the boomers out of the workforce. Prime Age Participation is the strongest it's been since 2000..
