The market gave the Fed 'permission' to cut 50 basis points this time, says Roger Ferguson

Former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the Fed's interest rate decision, what was behind the central bank's decision to cut rates by 50 basis points, key takeaways from Fed Chair Powell's commentary, and more.

Joe admitting how terrible his gut instinct is the most honest thing he ever said.

Probably no need for the extra drama … this cut includes the cut they should have made in July, by Powell’s admission (“…don’t want to fall [further] behind.”)

The market is echoing the 2015-16 scenario, poised to reach new heights, but may experience a sideways trend until fed signals rate cut. I recently sold 25% of my portfolio, comprising struggling stocks recommended by certain financial YouTubers, which unfortunately took a significant hit.

I usually look up your videos for updates! Investing in Crypto currencies is beneficial at this moment. Thank you Antonio Alex, imagine investing $15, 000 and received $105, 500. This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.

JK like a child wanting his answers "Karen, getting what you want isn't happiness" "Go away" my favorite comic speaking with her father.

The FED realizes it went too far, too long and is now afraid of a recession - already showing up in Europe (car sales !!!!)

From $37K to $65K that's the minimum range of profit return every month I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family. ❤️>>

I would pay to watch Kernen at the gym. He probably wears his white shirt and tie, and heads straight to the sauna.

so does the stock market go up or down from here?

[Larryake]

Joe just said it best, "I thought it was going to be 25", so my take away is if you want to gain insight don't listen to Joe, simple

Hmmm, almost seems like they are mad at the cut, 😂. Seems like a prudent move to start off the cuts to come at a more modest and measured rate in the future.

[steadfastanddomino]

Yes, Joe, you are indeed in a cult. Just not the one you think.

[jermainebrown]

MAGA!!! If trump president you would be cheering.

[lakeguy]

The FED playing politics or they think we are facing a severe recession risk.

[sailorize]

Right before elections, just like gas prices. Very convenient

50 was an easy call. Anyone who thought 25 was not paying attention

The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400, 000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.
