🚨 CONFIRMED | THE FED HITS THE BRAKE 🚨

Beth Hammack (Fed Cleveland) has just cooled off the market — and this IS REAL.

🛑 CLEAR MESSAGE:

After THREE consecutive cuts in 2025, the Fed does NOT see urgency to continue lowering rates.

💣 What she said (unvarnished):

👉 "There is no need for more cuts in the short term."

👉 Now it's time to PAUSE to see what happens with inflation and employment.

👉 Market expectations were too far ahead.

📉 HARD DATA (REAL):

• Current rate: 3.50 % – 3.75 % (lowest since 2022)

• Inflation still above 2 %

• Resilient labor market

• The Fed is INTERNALLY DIVIDED

🧠 OFFICIAL PROJECTION:

📆 Only 1 additional adjustment in 2026

→ Rate of cuts MUCH slower

→ No “quick pivot”

⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS:

• Hammack is cooling expectations

• She is defending the Fed's credibility

• More caution = less immediate liquidity

📊 IMPACT ON MARKETS:

• More cautious investors

• Fewer aggressive bets on cuts

• Risk assets feel the pressure

🔥 TRANSLATION FOR TRADERS:

The Fed is not going to rescue the market every time it trembles.

Easy money is NOT coming back yet.

💡 Brutal conclusion:

The cycle of cuts is NOT automatic.

The Fed is hitting the brakes… and the market has to adjust.

👉 This is NOT a rumor. It is NOT a narrative.

It is REAL monetary policy.
