I personally want them to induce a blatant recession so we can stop edging investors with pending rate cuts. Private sector (especially financial services) has been decimated for the last year and a half because the Fed and our lawmakers decided to mask unemployment and GDP numbers with misleading forward guidance and unnecessary govt expenditures. “Oh unemployment rate is low” where a majority of job gains are from the public sector and part-time employment. Actually ridiculous. Yield curve inversions and negative money supply growth don’t lie even if we don’t want to believe them.

 

Most of the "job growth" is from government sector jobs and healthcare jobs, to boot. Hard to reduce inflation when the only jobs you're adding are basically government circle-money ponzi schemes.

 

I don’t even think they should cut this year. If they do cut, it’ll be because of external pressure. The Fed still hasn’t accomplished their goal on inflation so I don’t see a valid basis for cutting. I also think part of the reason why markets and asset valuations are still irrational in many areas is because the Fed has led investors to believe that rate cuts are bound to happen this year, which I think is inappropriate.
