Correct.

Cutting 1% isnt going to cause mass inflation.


I agree again.

What does cause massive inflation is increasing the money supply. Increasing the money supply is facilitated by congressional overspending.

So inflation is dropping with rates being held steady? Sounds like a good reason to keep them at their current levels. Waiting to see what continuing jobless claims are doing (they've been trending up for the last year). If jobs numbers are looking good as well, then you don't cut.

It has become a liberal rag - in fact every single publication or tv show that is considered msm needs to be ignored and mocked (including Fox). It’s all 100% lies and propaganda - I’ll stick to getting my news through podcasts like smart people.

It may not be "liberal," but it is definitely a uniparty/establishment TDS never-Trumper rag... Give or take one or two opinion pieces every now and then.

If the China deal becomes permanent then we will probably see a healthy bps cut next quarter.

Remember this is with the media trying to create mass hysteria, a market crash and empty shelves.


The best thing about this for me is it shows their influence has greatly waned.


But you still have idiots like powerman, roger and big scrub.

As a central bank, it is better to be late to a rate cut than too early. The timing of Trump starting his trade initiative and Federal Reserve quarterly meeting just didn't line up well. Partisans will hate to hear it but it would not be good central banking to lower rates ahead of possible inflationary trends caused by high tariffs.

This is exactly why these people have long terms and cannot be fired because what the political wants is short term focused and often stupid. Trump had to choose between his strong arm approach to trade negotiations or lower rates immediately. He decided the trade negotiations were more important to his agenda and he's probably right. Can't have your cake and eat it too even as the President.
