Carl Quintanilla, Courtney Reagan and David Faber spoke with CNBC’s Steve Liesman and Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee about this morning’s PCE print and the Fed’s revised rate outlook. Goolsbee’s comments sparked a market rebound, saying he expects Fed rates to go down by a “judicious amount” in 2025. The desk also hit two key earnings movers: FedEx and Nike. FedEx topped earnings expectations and shares initially rallied after announcing a spinoff of its freight business. Nike shares tried to rebound after its initial drop, following the company’s first quarter under new CEO Elliott Hill.
