Still think they hold firm on not cutting rates till the end of the year. What you think OP?

No way they cut rates now. They will wait until Powell is in the bushes…what could go wrong with rate cuts in the face of 4 - 5% inflation?
It’s…
About…
Go…
Down.
I heard yesterday some in wall street are questioning if we can even trust these numbers given orange baboons meddling into everything that could be bad news. That is horrible for a functioning market obviously
With inflation, u increase rates to tamp down demand and prices but with Trump's retarded tariffs it has thrown a huge wrench into everything

If the job market doesn’t get better, this is cooked. This is what tariffs are getting us and some companies haven’t even forwarded those costs to people yet. PPI will be interesting.
Oh yeah, Trump keeps giving the green light for companies to lay-off workers so they can get off-shore talent while sending ICE to deport/detain others and ushering in martial law locally.
Inflation + shytty job market brings us closer to that stagflation. Then it’s really on. A.I getting better and off-shore work being pushed only gets us closer.
What a great economy! Dude has basically destroyed anything positive we had that Biden left.
The only bright spot is at least we’re nearing the end of year 1. It’s about to be election cycle for the midterms. The worry is some people think everything is going stellar right now.

The fed is going to go with the Trump argument. It’s not inflation, it’s the effects of tarrifs.
We are getting a rate cut.

Why would they cut rates? I don’t see it
That's only going to accelerate "inflation" if that's what we are calling it.
I'm calling it price gauging on steroids.

I see it. I see it in big letters.. R A T E C U T
If it’s price gauging why would it be consider it inflation?
