No reason for the Fed to cut interest rates.

Looks like it beat the estimate by 25%? Just slightly.

Reasons there will be no cut:

—GDP blew past forecasts
—Employment is strong
—MoM inflation is up
—Talk of tariff rebates (upward pressure on inflation)

Hang in there SDVTiger. Don’t work yourself into a frenzy.

this talk needs to die......just another "stimulus" payment that helped cause inflation originally.....

don't spend it and borrow less than expected this year.....

There's a scenario where it would be better to raise rates

.6% is massive in the world of gdp metrics. Especially for a country running 7%+ of gdp defecits.

Nothing to sneeze at.

A September cut just got further away...

PCE continues to rise

quote:

Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index
Change From Month One Year Ago
June 2025 +2.6%
May 2025 +2.4%
April 2025 +2.2%
March 2025 +2.3%


Jobless numbers for last week rose slightly, but were a bit below estimates

We now may be looking at October or December as the more likely time we see a cut.

Please link to one post on this board which said "Trump was running the US in (sic) the ground." Thanks.

The constant strawmanning is tiresome. At times, people project "if Trump follows through on what he's saying (e.g. the "big board" tariffs), it will have XYZ negative effect." When Trump doesn't follow through on what he said, his sycophants gloat that XYZ didn't happen, lulz TDS. But it ultimately comes down to Schrödinger's Trump: Trump simultaneously means and doesn't mean everything he says, depending on whichever outcome is preferable in hindsight.

It's a weird GDP report, so I wouldn't put a ton of stock in it. This 3% growth is basically buoyed by the following:

Govt spending up 0.8 p over Q1
Personal consumption up 0.9pp over Q1
net exports up 6.3 pp over Q1

All good news until:

gross private investment is down 1.5pp over Q1

I've never heard that quote but it's very applicable.
