The news are catalysts that typically move the stock market to its projected destination at a faster rate, but the destination was already set to go there.

If the Fed doesn’t cut we’re screwed. Homes can’t move w current rates. The prices are too high to afford the interest. When rates were high in the 80’s prices were low. 15% for a $65k house is NBD but 7% for a $1m house is more interest than the principal value of the home on a 30 year fixed.

Every time an American buys an item made in another country, that money is sent out of the USA = inflation is SUCKED OUT like a vacuum. So naturally inflation wants to fall also the USA is getting older, and old people tend to prefer to save money and spend less that also lowers inflation. However as we risk a major trade war with China and other countries the prices might rise causing more and more manufacturing to move back to the USA = higher inflation as less money is leaving the country and is instead stuck here for better or worse. The one change is that people that retired during covid 2020-today have actually been spending more money than usual - maybe thinking life is too short to only save and not spend so that has lead to higher inflation but that could start to slow down now that we are long past COVID period. We shall see.
