As expected, the #FED kept interest rates unchanged. Not totally unexpected - there were two dissents. Fed governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller wanted to cut by a quarter percentage point, per the Fed's statement: federalreserve.gov/monetaryp…

Replying to @kaylatausche @CNN
Important reminder regarding “allow” Section 10 of Federal Reserve Act says Fed Governors can be “removed for cause by the president” Legal scholars see the “cause” as a serious misconduct or abuse of power, not disagreeing with the Fed’s non-partisan conduct of monetary policy

You're getting bombarded with fundraising pleas from the presidential candidates. But do they really need your money at this point in the race? marketplace.org/2024/10/14/p…

Do presidential candidates really need your money at this point in the race?

At this point in the race, your $7 donation probably won’t tip the scales in favor of either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

The key sentence in the Fed's statement today on its decision to cut #InterestRates by a half point: "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate." It's paying closer attention to the labor market.

Today's #FOMC decision to lower #InterestRates by a half point was not unanimous: "Voting against this action was Michelle W. Bowman, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point."

This line from the #FOMC statement on its #InterestRate decision today is key: "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate." This means they're paying more attention to rising #Unemployment

The Federal Reserve has kept the benchmark interest rate at nearly 5.5% for a year now. The Fed is opening the door to a September cut.

FOMC holds rates steady No explicit signal of a September rate cut, but some very meaningful changes in the top of the statement: -The dual mandate is back -Inflation has been downgraded from “elevated” to “somewhat elevated”

Just now from #FOMC Chair #Powell on #inflation "Further progress toward bringing it down is not assured, and the path forward is uncertain."

The presumption in the #FOMC statement is still a cut in #interest rates: "The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that #inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent."
