Fed lowers rate 0.5% now and expects another 0.5% by year end.

They've given up on trying to lower prices.  Now they are trying to avoid an employment crash.

No doubt he'll slam the Fed because he doesn't want the economy to improve before the Election. He recently said the Fed's move to lower rates, and thus borrowing costs for consumers, is "something that they know they shouldn't be doing" so close to an election. He wanted to blame any market crash on Biden and Harris. Just like he killed the border bill so he could run on the issue.
What a disingenuous fucktard.

Isn't it sad that good news for the American people is bad news for Trump and Lester?

After soaring there was profit taking and the markets closed slightly lower. Let's see what happens in the coming days.

You just know he'll call the Fed Res corrupt. Fake rate hike. Deep State....blah blah.
But this rate adjustment was long overdue

on the way up, exacerbating the rapid rise in inflation.  Their first raise was 25 basis points, and it should have been a full point to stop inflation.  Then the next raise was 50 basis points, followed by 75 basis points.  By this time, there was no way to stop inflation using interest rates, and Americans paid the price.  

 
This decrease is pure political theatre and will do nothing to affect the economy.  It's strictly a last-ditch effort to support Kamala by the career bureaucrats.  There will be no possible results of this move until next year, long after the election.  Once again, Dems show they think their supporters are stupid.  

...a funny post like the one about honking noise with a French accent?

Don't forget to use "lol" when you intend for a post to be funny.  Otherwise, it's impossible to tell.

The Fed actually played this perfectly, engineering the much-desired but hard to achieve "soft landing." And the Fed didn't cause the inflation to begin with. That resulted from the trillions in stimulus funds dumped into the economy by both the Trump and Biden administrations, successfully staving off economic "nuclear winter." Inflation was baked into that cake. It was only for the Fed to correctly compensate. Which it did.
Notwithstanding the fact that CDL is too consumed by political hackery, and most Americans are too dense, to get it.
