Jefferies’ new “US Consumer Pulse” series leverages proprietary pricing survey data to inform our intra-month consumer-perceived pricing index. Notable insights from Feb include: three-quarters of respondents flagged grocery prices were still up month-over-month and more than 70% called out higher restaurant prices. For gasoline, housing, home furnishings, and healthcare, perceived pricing in March appear to be closer to neutral. See how other categories fared in the chart below.

As part of our ongoing Women’s History Month programming, Jefferies hosted an inspiring Fireside Chat featuring Louise A., Chief People Officer at Babcock, and author of “Her Voice: The Curated Wisdom of Brilliant Women.” Louise shared her insights on thriving in a predominantly male industry, forging her own leadership style to create a workplace where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated. She also shared powerful accounts of resilience, courage, and wisdom from other empowering women in her book. Hosted by Sam Barnett, Managing Director on Jefferies’ UK Investment Banking Team, the event also provided a fantastic opportunity for employees to network. Thank you to JWIN (Jefferies Women’s Initiative Network) for organizing and everyone who joined us to make the event a great success! #IWD #WHM
