Get ready for the Fed to make a horrible move cutting rates just to help Joey and Kamala.

The USA, on the cusp of stagflation, yet Powell wants to keep his job too. With lawfare not working, the Fed will engage to protect the current administration. It is what the Fed does to the American people regardless of the consequences.
After all, Joey and Kamala did get 81,000,000 plus votes in their last election. The bumper stickers are everywhere to prove it as well!!
It's coming ....

I wouldn't be shocked at all, but I think it's too late to make much difference by November.

The rate cuts will be well timed in mid to late summer so further inflation is delayed until after the 2024 GE.

CRE is in a bind with so much debt terming this year and asset values stressed.
Banks with exposure will feel it.
Housing market is affected by interest rates.
They'll lower them (they shouldn't, but they will) to save those two sectors if nothing else.
In other words, you and I suffer the downside consequences when we're not smart with our money. When the big players get overextended, they receive a downside safety net at the expense of the rest of us.

The election will not affect his job regardless of the outcome. The Fed is controlled by a board of governors that are nominated by the President but serve 14-year terms.

Rate hikes generally take a year to permeate through the economy to start really cutting inflation. The majority of hikes (both the number of hikes and the total of increases) were done in 2022. Feb, March, May and July of 2023 saw quarter-point increases as well, but we are over year out from the biggest part of the hikes and a year(ish) out from the first half of those final hikes yet we've seen inflation remain sticky above 3% and now starting to creep back up.
Economic activity usually picks up as we get into Summer so there's no economic reason to expect any cuts (at least at this time) until at least August. If we get cuts before August with inflation still above 3%, there is so much latent demand out there that I believe we would be back around (or above) 4% by election time.
All that said, if we get cuts with inflation still above 3% then it's most likely going to be as an attempt to win voter favor for the current administration.
And it would fail spectacularly.

I’m not that worried. If they were going to cut for political reasons last week would have either been when or at least some signaling it was coming.
Neither happened.
