๐๐บ๐ธMARKET SHOCKWAVES: The FED Crossroads Has Arrived! ๐บ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
The financial world is zeroed in on the Dec 9โ10 FOMC showdown, and the tension couldnโt be higher.
Wall Street is betting on another 25 bps rate trim โ the third cut of 2025 โ but this one hits with full-blown volatility:
๐ Frozen federal data thanks to the government shutdown
๐ Political flames fueled directly by President Trump
๐ A deeply fractured Fed, publicly pulling in opposite directions
๐Uncertainty over who replaces Powell after his 2026 term ends
The American economy isnโt looking calm either:
โข Hiring momentum fading
โข Layoffs picking up
โข Previous job gains being revised down
โข Inflation still elevated, boosted by tariff pressures
And inside the Federal Reserve, the internal clash is unmistakable:
๐ธ๐ช Stephen Miran: Push harder โ more rate cuts, more stimulus.
๐ธ ๐ชSusan Collins: Not so fast โ inflation hasnโt cooled enough.
๐ธ ๐ชTrump: Turning up the heat on Powell as the clock ticks toward 2026.
Meanwhile, the search for the next Fed Chair is already underway, and Kevin Hassett is rising on the shortlist โ stirring fresh worries about how independent the central bank will remain.
