Bank of Utah President Branden Hansen sits down with Dr. Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel Financial. They dive into inflation’s stubborn grip, interest rate expectations and the broader economic outlook, including how government debt and fiscal policy could shape the future.

Dr. Piegza also shares her thoughts on the job market, consumer confidence and whether the Fed will cut rates anytime soon.

Tune in for expert insights and a fresh perspective on what lies ahead!
