The Federal Reserve faces another decision on interest rates at its meeting October 27-28, and this week’s inflation report is sure to play a role in the discussion.

Join us for the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise monthly economic briefing at 9 AM EDT Wednesday, October 14, the morning that the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the consumer price index for September. Research Economist Cody Morris will discuss how the new numbers compare to wage growth and how that might affect the Fed’s decision. He will also take your questions.

Join via Zoom (registration details below) and submit your questions in advance to External Affairs Assistant Director Rob Knapp via email.

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
