• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Federal Reserve Jerome Powell Fed Policy update discussion

I'm sure more than that. Dem's will get saddled with blame if they raise taxes on a recovering economy and it'll kill them in the midterms. I'm guessing a lot of Dems behind the scenes support Manchin and Sinema. They are just making sure the vote at least looks as close to a republican/ dem split as possible.
That and their domestic agenda flys in the face of nation defense needs and they know it.

There is no desire for their domestic agenda.
 
Fed Meeting tomorrow morning. 88% chance of a .75 basis point rate hike in the Fed Funds rate.

The big information is in what Powell says, if anything, about future rate increases. Will they slow the rate down to .50 pt hike in December or will they stay with the .75 point hike?

The market is primed for a move one way or another, or maybe both ways depending on what he does / doesn't say.

Thoughts?

I was hoping they would already come down to 0.5pt this time, but I think we still bump up 0.75 the next few meetings. Relative to where we have been the previous years, rates are high, but they aren’t beat being a historical outlier
