I was wrong. The FED DID lower rates by 0.25.

I honestly didn't think they'd do it after last week's disaster of an employment report and the multiple downward employment revisions of the previous 2 months.

Money printer gonna go brrr like a mf'er.

Out of curiosity what is the logic that led to no rate cut in your scenario?

Disaster employment reports.

right, I guess I read that as bad employment would be good for more rate cuts? not being a pain just trying to follow

No one can afford to hire and cutting rates so businesses can borrow yet more is a game for fools now that so many loans became huge burdens when rates went higher. Fool me once sort of thing.

Got it, thanks

If they were concerned about employment they would start cutting rates faster.

Lower rates = access to easy credit for business = business expands and starts hiring more

Powell said overall employment situation looks ok and inflation data is easing but still a little to high so they're going to keep going slowly lower unless something changes on either employment or inflation data.

Powell is lying. Inflation is no where near under control.

It is by all the metrics they use

All those metrics are pure fiction.

Interest debt too damn high. Had to.
