Trump was a lame duck President on day one. He can't run again.

What politics is he playing? Doing nothing until the 4th Quarter, at the earliest is the smart play.

What's the rush? Stupid low interest rates helped to exacerbate inflation. So long as he doesn't raise, I don't see a problem. October is 4.5 months away. Staying steady on the rates doesn't hurt anything. Unless your trying to overbuy a house or strip your equity in a housing market that is overall stagnant and in a price decline currently.
Sure Wall Street might love it for the main purpose of engaging in stock buybacks.

I mean we know you are very stupid but the cuts wont even be felt till 12mnths later

Dumbarse Jerome waited to raise and why we are in this position

Powell is talking BS. higher long-term rates as ‘supply shocks’ provide policy challenges
"nonpolitical" or "just doing his job," this is the same dude who addressed the obvious and gargantuan supply shocks of 2021 as "transient" and not worthy of action.

lowering interest rates is insanely idiotic at this juncture. Addiction to lower than historically normal interest rates is really troublesome. It’s like y’all want higher inflation.

Why can't low rates be the new normal.. like we were told for everything else?
It's clear inflation is back to normal.
Because it's not. The absolute worst thing we could do is lower rates, and trigger inflation and then have to raise rates back up,
And while the uncertainty of the tariffs has been somewhat resolved, their impact is still unknown. And then we have all these 90-day tariffs cessations expiring.
Get these trade deals done PDQ. Establish the tariff rates and be done with it so that market can adjust and their impact can be determined.
And then adjust rates accordingly.

Because he knows you've racked up a ton of credit card debt, and your mother had to cut back on your monthly allowance - ALL because of Biden's inflation.
But at this point, it is just obvious that Jerome doesn't like you all that much.

Because he knows
Milton Friedman held that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
Is a one-off price increase secondary to tax policy "inflationary"?

I listened to some Phd. guy on Bannon and he explained the whole Deficit dynamic in a way that I could understand. He said that the Bond Market will have the final say and that if investors decline to buy bad debt bonds then the Fed will be boxed into the print money or let the Government collapse scenario. Period. 2 plus 2 will always be 4.

Powell refused to act on inflation for OVER a year while report after report after report showed inflation was going up. Had he raised rates sooner, we would be done with the situation we are in. But he didn't. He made it worse on the American people.
Now, he's f'n up again by waiting.

this is 100% true. Most people don't understand how truly fricked we are. If rates where to go down under 6% it would trigger a housing price uptick. We can't have an uptick in pricing because houses are already overpriced. Wages are not increasing so this makes the situation even worse. What we need is a recession. No one wants to talk about it but that's the only way out of this IMO.

Spot on, along with the velocity of money which is usually a 6-month lag to begin with.
