quote:Bingo, but our entire monetary system is sustained by inflation so what we’ll end up with is massive asset inflation. If you know how to allocate you’ll be ok. The “K shaped economy” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Further, AI advancements are inherently deflationary, and are employment threats. All reasons to lower rates.

So the rate of inflation is 2.4%. Good or bad, that’s what’s relevant. As always, why are we fixating on whether something was better or worse than people’s guess of what it would be?

The 10 year and 30 year even tapped out in the last few weeks. We’re 100% restrictive at the moment.

Yup. We need a 1% cut

There is a glideslope targeting an endpoint (i.e., 2% inflation/full employment) around which the FOMC is determining rates and monetary policy. If they realize the slope is off, it speaks to the need to reconsider estimated future datapoints.
More simply, if you expect one thing, but see another, it calls for a gameplan adjustment.
In this case, inflation is declining more quickly than expected. That opens the door to considering previously unanticipated rate adustments.

The only real solutions are massive fiscal austerity by the government (literally never happening until the country collapses)
Its disgusting that we all know this yet are powerless to do anything about it.

Worst poster on this board. You bring nothing of value. Have never seen a good comment from you. You still think tariffs are paid with pixie dust.
