The bond market has quickly priced in a Federal Reserve interest rate cut this year, just days after the Fed said it would stop raising rates.
Joseph LaVorgna, Natixis' economist for the Americas, studied the last five tightening cycles and found there was an average of just 6.6 months from the Federal Reserve's last interest rate hike in a hiking cycle to its first rate cut. "For example, there was only one month from the last tightening in August 1984 to the first easing in September 1984. This was followed by a four-month window succeeding the July 1989 increase in rates, a five-month gap after the February 1995 hike, an eight-month interlude from May 2000 to January 2001, and then a record 15- month span between June 2006 and September 2007," he wrote.
Anyone think that Trump & Powell were actually working in unison but putting on a show of disagreement? Think about it. Now that we raised interest rates, and the economy did not take a hit (in short term), a cut will most likely just extend the bull run and can be used any time
So we ARE in a RECESSION!

Trump blames Fed for sub-4 percent growth; economists blame TrumpPresident Trump says the GDP would have hit 4 percent had the Federal Reserve stopped raising interest rates sooner. Wow Trump claiming something bad wasn't his fault. A rare sight. Fed doesn't come under his magic wand? The President has very little power over the economy, the Fed has only slightly more, and economic growth doesn’t matter to most of us when costs are going up but wages are flat.

Bush, wrote in a blog post on Friday. “It is time for senators to do their job. Here’s an idea: dems and rhinos can just issue a blanket rejection, good for the next 6 years, for any Trump nominee. That’s basically what they do anyway. Worthless political shills bent on keeping the status quo of official Washington.
