  4. Trump wants market fireworks so he can point to the rise and claim, "see what a good job I've done"... without consideration to the increased inflation, decline in the $USD, and perhaps the decline in the long bond (that would be if treasury holders dumped because raising rates here might be seen as weakening our currency as well as being irresponsible).

    Market players want upside fireworks (we always want that), but are not weighing the impact of currency devaluation and inflation "higher for longer".

    IMV it would be bad judgement for JPow to cut rates here and now.

    Trump's personality always requires a bogey man.

    weak minded people always need a reason for market movement rather than to just trade the price action @S2007S
     
  7. Politics will always be...politics. That will never change. What can be changed is your trading. Tell me more about your understanding and refinement trade process,

  9. he does have a point. Why all this push for lower FED rates? I actually think the rate should be at least 50 basis points higher.

    Higher rates hurt the middle class due to higher interest rates on loan, mortgages, car loans, etc. Sure lowering rates jumpstarts the market, and for good reason, people can afford to spend money on other things besides interest payments. The real question is what is the reason for sustaining interest rates at current levels as every other country on Earth lowers theirs, aside from politics and not wanting to admit they were wrong about inflationary concerns from tariffs?
