It’s common sense. In order to cut Fed must increase money supply. That spikes inflation. Bond holders then require higher yield on long term bonds which will cause long term rates to go up, while the fed is dropping short term rates. The fed obviously knows economics and knows this. But, their purpose is to save a dying economy at the expense of higher long term rates, until the collapse happens - in other words the rate cuts are designed to “kick the can down the road” at the expense of a worse collapse. The final conclusion can only be that this is a controlled collapse, engineered as the great economic reset with the participants being the fed, well for me tho Bitcoin is the ultimate defence against a tyrannical been engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 24Bitcoin....I'm especially grateful to Aria Cookings, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

My take on today (and I was in the 25 camp) is that: I think the economy is remarkably strong, and will be as long as the Trump tax and/or Biden spend policies remain in place. I think today's ructions are a reaction to the Fed remaining data dependent, rather than offering clear forward guidance. Could this ruction turn into a tantrum? Perhaps. But, if it does, the Fed has demonstrated a willingness to move "forcefully" before things get too out of hand.

The bigger question is why the heck are newspapers leaking Fed policy during the blackout period? "THIS IS BALONEY!" I feel like it was reported a similar leak happened in '22, too. Is someone looking into this?

Good to see the start of more-normal economic-management, following the Covid/lockdown surge of turbulence, the next decision about a further-cut or hold MUST be made by the Fed on-the-data, as they read it. But this first cut will surely help people running SMEs, who have been struggling with high interest-rates.
