**Weekly Summary: Politics, Economy, and the Impact of Absences**
This week has been full of news spanning politics, the economy, and much more. However, it has also been a week where notable absences have loomed large. The ongoing data fog has already begun to affect the central bank’s traditionally smooth decision-making process, evidenced by dissenting votes in each of the last three FOMC sessions.
Additionally, the Supreme Court weighed in with what appeared to be a rather caustic critique of the Trump administration’s legal authority regarding the barrage of tariffs imposed since taking office. Over this period, the average tariff on goods entering the US has risen sharply—from 2.4 percent to 17.9 percent.
Typically, this week would have marked Jobs Friday, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases employment data, but the theme of absences remains prevalent as this important report was notably delayed.
