Maybe they are quiet because there is a meeting coming. I think it is obvious that the economy is slowing rapidly AND inflationary pressures are building ... what to do ... what to do ...

I think another 25 bps hike is highly likely.

Core PCE (Fed's favorite inflation measure) was 2.9% annualized in Q2.
