"Powell's Warning: Interest Rate Cuts ⚠️ — could be soon, or maybe not. This is not an automatic mode!"
🔥 Powell has hinted: A rate cut in December is not guaranteed. After the Fed's recent interest rate cuts, Powell warned the markets: "the next cuts are not a given." He pointed out deep differences in policy and unclear economic data — especially in the context of the U.S. government shutting down, disrupting inflation & employment reports. 💼 What the market hears = "Prepare for uncertainty" Investors reacted quickly: what was previously a fairly high likelihood of a December rate cut now looks like a 50/50 gamble. Stocks fell, and risk appetite fluctuated as traders reassessed their bets. ⚖️ The Fed is walking a tightrope: Employment versus Prices Powell emphasized the dual risks — weak hiring + persistent inflation. With job creation cooling and inflation still above target, the Fed may take action — or may pause — depending on what the next wave of data shows. 🚨 "No automatic mode, no promises" — A warning from Wall Street Message: do not take interest rate cuts for granted just because the Fed has cut once. The market must always remain vigilant. Powell's caution has turned certainty into suspense.
