  • Three Fed Rate Cuts in 2019? Let's Take a Deep Breath

    From bnnbloomberg.ca

    President Donald Trump’s trade war with China is heating up, prompting traders to start betting on as many as three Federal Reserve interest rate cuts totaling 75 basis points this year. That’s the kind of prediction that makes me think it is time for everyone to take a deep breath. The Fed is simply a long way from that kind of move. Neither the magnitude of recent market moves nor the data flow justify that kind of reduction in rates. Consider first the central bank’s current position. As New York Federal Reserve President John Williams describes the situation, the U.S. economy is in a “very good place.” ... (full story)

It's simply mind-numbing that left wing CNNBozoberg "news" actually printed this article. Three rate cuts? Seriously, any one with a 3rd grade education couldn't possibly believe this.You have to give them an A for effort for trying to paint the President and the administration in a bad light. You know, because 3 rate cutes = Trump big bad meany ruining America, and yet small businesses, the lifeblood of our economy, are more and more upbeat every month.

My bad it's BNNdoomsdayberg news.

They will hammer out a deal by the end of the year. Market will make all time highs. Election cycle will start and then we get to watch all the lefty bozos vying for the nomination only to be humiliated every time they open their mouth.

First sentence of the article shows the flaw in this thinking.

"President Donald Trump’s trade war with China is heating up, prompting TRADERS to start betting on as many as three Federal Reserve interest rate cuts totaling 75 basis points this year."

No, it isn't prompting TRADERS, it's prompting BANKS to skew the bond market. So the inversion curve is not predictive of a recessionary trend as it has been in the past. Yea, remember the BANKS in the last crash. You know, the ones that were perpetually wrong in everything they did with NO RISK to their financial well being (bail out bums). Yea, those guys.
