Stephanie Roth is the Chief Economist at Wolfe Research. In this conversation, we break down whether inflation has peaked, why tariffs, AI chip shortages, and the Iran war are driving short-term prices, and why consumers feel poor despite a resilient economy. We also cover trust in government data, incoming Fed chair Kevin Warsh, the 2026 IPO wave, and the bitcoin and gold debasement trade.
