One area that has been raising alarm bells is the market's growing expectation that inflation will go lower and lower, and stay there for a long time.

The bond market's fear about Fed policy are showing up in a spread that indicates falling expectations for inflation, which is also a concern at the Fed as it could signal low growth or even a recession.

In the bond market, that means Fed policy is too tight and the Fed needs to cut rates to generate inflation.As the rest of the world slows, the U.S. economy has shown weakness but no big cracks. But one area that has been raising alarms, and one that can sway the Fed, is the market's expectation that inflation will go lower and stay there for a very long time.

"It's one of my arguments why they should be cutting ... Inflation expectations are signaling the Fed is going to miss its mandate over a long time," said Briggs.

Xi is losing control in China. The EU has a wealth tax on deposits. All the FED has to do is set the rate at 2% & meet again in December 2020. It has no control of the rest of the world. Strong dollar is needed to disengage with China Move the supply chain. tt:MariaBartiromo

It wouldn't be surprising if the Fed cuts rates, policy expert saysPresident Trump continues to blast the Fed and Chairman Powell for not moving fast enough to lower interest rates. This comes as Fed officials get ready to gather at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. Nellie Liang, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Vincent Reinhart, chief economist at BNY Mellon, join 'Squawk Box' to discuss. This is mostly right but I think it still overstates the potential benefit of a rate cut. Rates are not high enough to be slowing the economy and we already proved that ZIRP and QE don't matter. And Japan and Europe prove it every day. If the economy is strong, why does it need support? Blah blah many people are saying babble babble biggest crowd ever blather blather jews love me blah blah
