Not here you can't.
I'm willing to let this play out. What choice do we have at this point.
No way I was going to let Kumala have the keys.

Serious question:
How likely is it that interest rates will be lowered by the fall?
And how bad does the economic outlook have to get for there to be a chance at lowering them?

The 10 yr treasury is down 32 bps in the last month.

People on this board act like Trump can just refinance $9B for 30 years at sub 4% if he plays his cards right. There is an incredibly low understanding of how the US treasury market works.

If these tariffs stay in place there’s a zero percent chance, unless you want inflation to skyrocket.

We have to be on the edge of a depression for interest rates to go down, assuming the tariffs are in place

That is the secondary bond market, right? That doesn't mean the Fed will lower the rate, right?

You cult supporters going to cult.
Blind loyalty as the world burns. Trillions of dollars in markets up in smoke by a self inflicted wound.
I would imagine most of the cult are high school educated and don’t understand the fire he has unleashed. Awesome to do all this to try to solve a deficit that cannot be solved.
The cult will profess the love for him as he’s robbing all of you.

No one person should be able to crash the economy.
If they can, the global economy was a house of cards already.
This would be proof that America was funding everything.

I get you’re poor and uneducated and I’m sorry for that. And I’m sorry Trump personally robbed you of your SS money. We are all very sorry. Trump voters are glad we took an educated and different path than you. Thanks for being an example of what not to be. We owe it to you.

Fed raises a lowers the prime rate (really the Fed funds and discount rate)
The secondary market rate you’re talking about, drives where the treasury refinances as it is what drives the treasury auction.

Okay. As I mentioned, I don't know much about this.
But the Fed raises and lowers rates based on the secondary bond market? I thought their main driver was inflation. Is that wrong?

The Fed doesn’t do anything based on the market, at least not directly.
They raise and lower the federal funds rate.
The treasury is who decides how much and for how long we’ll sell debt.
