good news is already priced in and there is substantial downside risk if traders dont like what Powell says.

Pretty hilarious, Nick Timiraos at the WSJ, aka Nicky Leaks, told us exactly what Jerome would say and do today, hawkish cut, lol. Markets rallied until Powell said and did exactly what Nick said he would. If there was a trigger it was Powell admitting there's no way they're getting to 2% anytime soon.

Expected single day blow back with a bump tomorrow, or are y’all expecting it to keep falling? It’s taking all I’ve got to not plow headlong into a few these stocks that have catered (looking at Tesla specifically)

Yeah

Powell tempering any future rate cuts has evidently put some cold water on the apetite for equities

That .5% rate cut looking pretty ridiculous now. Just an attempted lifeline to Kamala I guess. Now that she’s toast, no need to keep the charade going.

Tesla “cratered” all the way back to Monday’s prices.

I haven't kept up with this but was there an expectation that there would be more than 2 cuts in 2025?


Going into today I thought the consensus was .25 cut today and another couple next year. Isn't that exactly what jpow said?

Yeah it was a fairly routine pc from what I gathered. Think this is a lot of sound and fury. Markets just want to trade sometimes.

Some thought we were on track for 4 cuts in 2025. A day or so ago Fed Funds futures had a 60% chance of a cut in Jan. Now it's at 6%.
I think traders are focused on 2 things. Inflation is just damn sticky and, the job market isn't as weak as many think.
Having said that, I think the reaction was overdone and, I believe rates will be lower this time next year. But, unless economic data softens I think the 2 cuts will be a .25 point each time.

Less rate cuts for 2025 and some of Powell’s answers in the Q/A were puzzling.

It was by far my largest in quite some time. It put me back to my November 23 numbers, so need to put that in perspective and realize the sky is not falling. Let us hope the market is done being pissy.
