Fed cut today qtr pt.
Signals more cutting could come.
Market seems to be responding well
Opinion
Nice but I didn’t think it was necessary. Economy certainly not screaming rate cut but I don’t think a quarter will be impactful to any inflation concerns.
I also think there’s a strong political backdrop to this.

He's looking at jobs more than inflation, at least for the moment. If inflation moves up by the next meeting (which would mean 3% or higher), I can't see another cut happening at that time.

I would be more surprised if Trump's pressure didn't play a role.

Yeah and the pressure to lower rates to benefit the federal borrowing which is a serious issue we have to confront and rate cuts can be helpful.
Cutting spending? That’s an issue for another day

Debt service is like financial quicksand.
NYC went on a spending binge under the liberal Lindsey back in the late 1960's. The golden benefits of his social spending never materialized and the economy stumbled. The result was that debt service got most of the budget to the point that real essentials like maintenance of roads, schools, and bridges were almost completely neglected.

The US isn’t going to cut anything. It’s just going to devalue the dollar.

Markets Don't Know What To Make Of It.
Amid the confusion, one thing was clear, however: The Fed has become increasingly concerned about the strength of the U.S. labor market.

The big problem is that the federal government doesn't have a balanced budget mandate. Ever since the GFC, the federal debt has been spiraling out of control faster and faster as Congress simply refuses to cut enough spending to begin paying the debt down. Twenty years ago a $400B-$500B deficit was called "unconstitutional" (Obama 2008 campaign quote), today we've moved up to around $2T. This has put debt servicing up to a point where it bounces back and forth between the #2, #3 and #4 spot for the most expensive category in the federal budget (FY2024 saw servicing coming in around $879.9B-$882B).
That's simply not sustainable, meaning all those programs Congress refuses to cut spending on are going to get cut one way or another.
