Not enough data
Matthew C. Klein's coverage is primarily focused on finance and the economy, with an emphasis on data-backed analysis and investment insights. He shows a particular interest in monetary policy, inflation, disinflation, and economic trends.
Given his focus on citing data and providing investment analysis, he would likely be interested in expert commentary from economists or financial analysts who can provide deep insights into the latest economic trends or offer unique perspectives backed by solid data.
It's clear that Matthew takes a global perspective when analyzing economic issues as evident from the topics covered. This suggests that pitches should consider international implications of economic policies or trends to resonate with his coverage preferences.

We should be cautious about overemphasizing the data from May and June
The latest numbers on growth, inflation, and incomes suggest that the American economy is easing into a steady state growth regime with inflation still slightly faster than the Fed's 2% goal.
The most recent data are likely overstating the extent of disinflation, especially given what seems to be happening with goods supply and demand.
It has been over a year-and-half since the end of "Covid Zero" restrictions, but domestic demand is still so weak that production is only holding up thanks to exports (dumping?)
The shortfall in household spending since 2019 is massive no matter how you count it.
The goal should be getting to "neutral" as quickly as possible. Since no one knows where that is, optimal policy should consist of moving down quickly while preserving the option to correct later.
That is not a problem, but it has implications for inflation and interest rates. Plus: inside the September 2024 NIPA revisions.
