    1. Good thing they didn’t release the jobs data that, by all accounts, would have improved the case for a rate cut

    2. We shouldn’t be cutting at all lately. Unemployment issues aren’t due to cyclicality/seasonality, it’s due to layoffs and immigration policy changes. Monetary policy won’t fix these issues and will only increase inflation, which is already above the Fed’s target of 2.0%

      Position: puts on $GM

    3. What a crock of shit. Worst job losses in 17 years and they are unsure. Tell us you’re purposely collapsing the country without telling us.

      Why would they make any moves without the October data? Seems logical to keep things at the status quo until new data across multiple months comes in.

      doesn’t matter honestly, he should not cut and probably won’t but considering how shit macro is rn he will be forced to do it in January anyways.

      Is 1month that big of an issue really?

      So they’re asking for more data and the White House just decided to push all relevant data until after Fed meeting EXCEPT the September jobs report because we n is that’s going to be abysmal. Basically White House is trying to force the feds hand on rate cut while hiding a potential labor market rebound in October and all inflation data lol.

      Tbh I’m getting frustrated at Powell at this point too. The soft landing is over bro, we are suffering and labor is being ripped to shreds. Inflation is present and rising but not as serious as forecasted. Cut the rates man

    8. Once you start them it’s hard to stop without the market dumping. So many predictive bets too. Does the actual lending rate even matter anymore?
