We're all curious as to what the Fed's going to do with rates. On this episode we attempt to tackle this burning question. We start by retracing the economic journey since 2021, exploring how post-COVID inflation surged to 9% and prompted the Fed to raise interest rates aggressively. Despite these higher borrowing costs impacting mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, our economy has shown remarkable resilience, thanks to a strong labor market and hefty savings. Now, with inflation reduced to around 3.4%, we evaluate whether the Fed's measures have been effective and consider the potential benefits and risks of a rate cut.
Join us for a dive into the Federal Reserve's potential strategies amid recent economic trends.
