Some of the last economic data before Nov. 5

The last reading on inflation before next week’s election and Federal Reserve meeting shows that inflation was up 2.1% annually. With fuel and energy prices out of the way, the index was up 2.7% in a year. For an expert view, we’re joined by Diane Swonk, chief economist at the audit, tax and advisory firm KPMG.

Former President Donald Trump is promising tariffs of up to 20% for all goods entering the U.S. and a 60% tariff on goods from China to protect American jobs from foreign competition. We’ll dig in to some of the potential impacts.
