• S17E25: Inflation Eases & McDonald's Struggles: What’s Behind the Numbers? (Market Outsiders: May 13, 2025)

  Send us a textIn this Tuesday episode of Market Outsiders, Namaan and Jenny Rae dissect the April CPI data, showing a lower-than-expected core inflation rate, signaling stability despite tariff uncertainties. Jenny Rae then shares a jarring McDonald's visit, with empty dining areas and sluggish service, pointing to operational hiccups rather than inflation-driven consumer retreat. Comparing McDonald's to peers like Chick-fil-A, they question if its in-store strategy is faltering and what this means for its future. Join Market Outsiders live every weekday at 9:15AM ET on LinkedIn and YouTube - and now, episodes are also available on Strategy Simplified every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.Want the full daily experience?
