Drawing insights from The Registry and Wells Fargo, we explore the projected 3.3% growth in holiday sales and the factors driving constrained consumer spending.

Join us as we discuss how inflation, rising interest rates, and a significant budget deficit are reshaping consumer habits. These factors are leading shoppers to embrace early holiday deals and prioritize experiences over material gifts. We will also examine the implications of Trump’s return to power, particularly potential tax cuts and trade tariffs that could exacerbate inflationary pressures and slow economic growth.

With expert analysis on the Federal Reserve’s likely monetary policy adjustments, this episode offers a comprehensive outlook on what consumers and businesses can expect as we approach the holiday season and navigate the complexities of the post-election economy.
