When's the Fed gonna cut interest rates and other countries follow suit? Why won't things hurry up?

[itsclearlynicholas]

Lol. I just wonder how, interest rates have been rising and then holding since 2022. How far longer is this expected to go on for, lol, how long have interest rates typically keep rising for, years? Decades? Until the market crashes or the soft landing is achieved, lol. Im so dumb lol, so I ask

2024

2025

2026

They'll hold for months and then rise by late 2025

They'll hold for months and then cut by 2025

I don't know either lol 😆

I suspect they will be forced to cut by political pressure even thou this will lead to even more inflation.

The financial reality is the federal goverment has soo much dept that just paying interest is more and more crowding out every other goverment spending project leading to even more dept and yet higher interest payments.

So its not soo much a question of whether or not there will be significantly more inflation but when which is why the federal politicians are having such a hard time selling their treasury notes at low interest rates.

There is simply no way congress will ever cut ~28% of the federal spending or be able to tax enough to simply avoid adding more to the deficient requiring even larger cuts.

So we are headed toward much more inflation and devaluation of servies no matter what at this point.

No one knows for sure, but unless inflation drops or there is an shock to the US economy, rates won't drop.

Months? Another year? If you had to guess 😉

[Avicenna]

Normally, I'd say we wouldn't get a rate cut near the election, but things have changed, so I would say months.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Hmm. To avoid bias?

[Avicenna]

The appearance of it, yes. That's my guess.

[itsclearlynicholas]

2025 it is then hahahaha? Ah well this question was just for fun anyhow cya lol

[Avicenna]

Maybe- we'll see. The soft recent GDP number might be a game changer.

Probably won't until until a massive new housing program nationwide. Massive destruction of old housing as cheap as possible nationwide and rebuilding nationwide as cheap as possible.

Basicly a government forced housing boom like after ww2 without new technologies or new land to build on. Just brute force Government spending. Like the hoover dam Government spending without getting a hoover dam.

[NaultD]

Now, why would anyone invest in new housing when people can work from the internet? That would be shooting yourself in the foot. At the same time, businesses hate working from home.

Ultimately, we are in a big old circle jerk on a basic necessity of life. That is creating a homelessness epidemic and housing crisis.

With the wars going on it won't be this side of the election for sure

Gold and oil are up so it's probably in the offing at least a little but it won't be below a couple of percent probably this decade unless something big happens like a repeat of 2008
