Fed decision a 'wild card' for markets in second half of year

As stock markets (^DJI,^IXIC,^GSPC) enter the second half of the year, investor focus has shifted to the Federal Reserve's stance on monetary policy. SEI chief investment officer Jim Smigiel offers his insights on the economic landscape.
While acknowledging the economy's resilience, Smigiel warns that higher interest rates will likely remain challenging in the coming months. He states, "We see inflation being stickier than expectations," and suggests that if the Fed were to cut rates, it would likely be limited to only one for the year.
"The one wild card here is what will the Fed do," Smigiel told Yahoo Finance. He believes a July rate cut is "off the table" and views a September rate cut as unlikely, given its proximity to the election.

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.

[@Valentine-sd2fb]

Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.

[@Daniel-ss7ri]

Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

[@Janise-pg8yr]

My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

Great video! BTC’s institutional backing and ETH’s upgrades enhance their value. DOGE, despite volatility, has momentum. I think there’s a chance in new cryptos. I’ve put $5,000 into xAi5T. Anticipating great results! 🚀
