I Bet Jerome And The Fed Are Afraid Of TSF

Last edited Wed Sep 18, 2024, 01:02 PM - Edit history (1)

I bet the Fed only lowers interest rates 25 basis points. Then I want to hear what Jerome has to say about future cuts. I do not want to hear negative fed speak.

I don't know shit about the market, but I know that TSF is pushing for no cuts.

...the reason is will be to help the economy have a soft landing. This will be a fiscally conservative cut to ensure their action doesn't increase inflation or cause a recession.

She said the Fed waited too long.

The federal reserve system allows the President to choose the chair but most of the voting members are form banking interests. Consequently, they are not making policy -- they are insuring profits.

The reason why the fed seems so Pro-Republican is because banks like that Republicans will deregulate them and tax them less.

It is a system that rewarsd the unfettered greed of banks.

I'm surprise it was 50 basis points. The DI has risen over 250 point since the announcement and I'm wondering how much it will close at by the end of the day.

So 50 points seems appropriate.

They will release minutes at 2:30 that will be telling too.
