It's just comical. Have to laugh not to cry. quote:
WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lowered its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point, the third consecutive reduction and one that came with a cautionary tone about additional reductions in coming years.
In a move widely anticipated by markets, the Federal Open Market Committee cut its overnight borrowing rate to a target range of 4.25%-4.5%, back to the level where it was in December 2022 when rates were on the move higher.

Likely means more "easing" (aka, bond buying, printing, etc.)

They just can’t stand to see Trump succeed.
Look, I know they’ll have a hundred reasons under the sun why they made this move regarding fewer future rate cuts, but subconsciously it’s their disdain for DJT.

They are trying to get the economy to hold on just enough to pass the grenade to trump.
My suspicion is that they won’t try another Covid. This time it will be catastrophic economic collapse. And they will blame it on trumps tariffs, even though this has been brewing since Bush.

What's going to trigger this? Commercial real estate?
In what sector of the economy is the market balance located to trigger a catastrophic economic collapse? Not saying it won't happen. Just trying to identify the market imbalance to prepare accordingly.

Are you upset about the rate cut or the lack of future rate cuts?

Can Powell just basically say in a few months, inflation is terrible, I am going full Volcker? What would stop him?

Unemployment is the variable. Once that increases, the first domino is going to be one of these categories (and primarily the impact on the banking system the crash will cause):
1. Consumer debt/CCs
2. Residential RE
3. Commercial RE
4. Auto loans

All of it IMO
We haven’t seen the complete effects of inflation and the inflation is still ongoing.
Housing market is shite
Highest personal debts on record
Budget deficits out of control
It’s waiting on a pinprick to deflate
You don’t have to trust me, just look what Warren Buffett is doing.

Wow, way to narrow it down to essentially every kind of debt imagineable. Much insight, real smart

They should have never lowered the rates if anything they have been way too low.

The bubble has been building for 16 years now. Nobody can predict which one of those 4 bursts first, but the others may follow quickly thereafter.

Fiscal policy and Monetary policy cannot be dominant at the same time.
Fiscal Dominance can always force Monetary policy to go passive/accommodative.
Monetary Dominance cannot do the same to Fiscal policy.
I’m not going to rewrite my previous posts on it, but they’re there for the reading if you want.

Reckless. Rates should be a lot higher right now. Probably around 10-12%. Still too much money supply
