Powell's been focusing on unemployment data as his backbone when deciding for interest rate cuts. Y'all think the Fed is too late? Or, still within normal range? etc.

Cut rates and risk hyperinflation. Hike rates and trigger recession—or worse, stagflation. Maybe the Fed’s least bad move is to just wait.
Interest rate cut only comes with a recession.
End the Fed
many many people ARE still jobless
A recession is unlikely
Both options we have currently are shotgun blasts to the face…
It’s probably better if Jerome sits this out for a while.
interest is historically low. I think Powell should keep rates where they are until a recession occurs or is clearly on the way
Frankly I think we should end the feds setting rates and just let the overnight auctions establish rates
Give savers a break assholes.
The national debt has taken us to this point. Damned if we lower interest rates! Damned if we don’t!
Too much change going on fed can’t make a move. Not a stable economy.
Gotta see how these tariffs play out to determine. Hold for now and see how the consumers react to the higher prices. Consumers saved us the first go around so we rug pull them and see if they can save us a second go. After the consumers decide they can’t afford it then we can work on lowering rates.
I’m waiting for a total market collapse so i can finally get a new house and boat for cheap
The rear looking numbers aren’t bad yet, so no rate cuts.
If it helps Trump I’m against it, do what’s best for the nation instead.
Powell will be blamed if there is any bad outcome so Republicans have their scapegoat.
If they can cut interest rates, and continue to find lenders in debt markets, then OK. But, if they cut interest rates, and start printing money to buy government debt because they can’t find enough lenders to buy government debt at their desired interest rate, than not OK.

Jobs are fine… there was a decent cpi print but still wouldn’t call it “low”, and who knows what’s gonna happen with tariffs, so I’d say they’re gonna stay put until something changes
+ Housing market crash (bubble + tariffs/ICE constraining supply + institutional hoarding)
+ manufacturing crash (tariffs)
+ agriculture collapse (ICE)
+ service industry collapse (ICE)
-> full on depression
Tweaking interest rates isn’t going to save us.
