inflation is devastating for middle and lower-class households. Monetary policy decisions should prioritize economic stability for the working class, not cater to wall street’s big boys and politics.
My concern is where we will begin to see the effect of these cuts, is housing going to follow suit? I missed out on my dream home during the pandemic, I am now all eyes and ears for a further decline in mortgage rates.
Further decline? This is the reason I had wanted to refinance in the 1st quarter according to our budget but my spouse likes the space and the pool. If I go ahead with the plan, I will have over 200k to put in a HYSA as I had initially intended, seeing stocks are very volatile these days and the bond market (10Y) is pricing in the effect of rate cuts by ticking upwards, is it a good time for an average joe to get into the financial markets?
speak to an expert to protect your retirement savings from inflation. I personally saw my portfolio grow from $750k to $1.2 million in 3 years, saving $23,000 in taxes and earning $45,000 in dividends, despite 2.5% annual inflation. they can help you rebalance your portfolio, optimize retirement income, and develop a tax-efficient strategy to safeguard your future.
American dream will continue to be “a dream” Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
In particular, amid inflation, investors should exercise caution when it comes to their exposure and new purchases. It is only feasible to get such high yields during a recession with the guidance of a qualified specialist or reliable counsel.
True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of $550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

Those “unemployment” rates are a misleading metric. They don’t count underemployment, those forced to retire early from lack of employment, and those unemployed so long they’ve given up. That’s why it’s so low, they pick and choose what qualifies
Unemployment rate is measured by total number of people in the “primary working age bracket”, if you retired and you’re still in that bracket you count. Anyone between 18-70 that isn’t working is included. You’re confusing receiving unemployment benefits and unemployment. If you quit your job you are unemployed but cannot receive benefits (in most states), which has nothing to do with Federal Unemployment Rate.
Completely agree, but I'm just relieved they said whatever they said that triggered a sell off. I am not making any more in this market with bubble stocks sitting in bubble territory and not much else going on except medical stocks going down.
They could reduce rates to 3% but no one has money to buy anything. Until salaries catch up which is highly unlikely unless you are a member of congress.
@@mattbarker1411 exactly. As a matter of fact, a good portion of the inflation over the last several years was a result of excessively low interest rates for too long.

Gas, fuel, groceries and consumer goods are skyrocketing again. Don't kid yourself. Shrinkflation and 5 to 10 percent jumps on top of that have raised my total budget by about 15 to 20% since Septermber.
supply chain problems lead to inflation, the same reason as two years ago. That happens when you announce any every business wants to buy before the tariffs.
you are absolutely right. if consumer sentiment is good, so is the unemployment rate. rate is too high for mortgage, car, and bank industry. car industry is near blink of bankruptcy.
rates are a tiny issue with the housing bubble, it's the actual asking prices. So sick of everyone acting like it's the rate that is the problem, but it's cool that home sellers upped asking prices by $200K-$300K for completely average old houses needing repair.
@@istvanpraha the seller needs to consider fees(agent commission, escrow fee, and taxes). seller needs to find replacement home. with high interest rate, it's difficult for new buyer to make payment and qualify for loan. honestly I don't think we have housing bubble at this moment. however we'll face layoff issues(unemployment) if car manufacturers, home builders, and banks layoff staffs because they can't sell with high rate... since our US economy is based on payment/credit.
Even a ‘good savings is only giving 3.90 yet even with good credit credit cards are charging 23-25% interest I can remember with good credit you could get 7.99 % interest on credit cards
@ You are absolutely right. The bond market is the last vestige of a free market that we have this country, and it doesn’t agree that inflation is coming down. I think the Fed will resort to yield curve control in order to help the federal government inflate its debt away.
@@TheLethargicAge I don't see how YCC can possibly work. That needs QE and since the FED is controlling the yield it isn't a profitable investment retuning a negative real yield. So would the FED buy literally every bond? No private investor will. That would require trillions of printing.
Almost everyone has been saying this would happen since last year. The rate cuts were done to give the illusion of the economy being in a good place when it’s not
I just saw a new home on the market in my area. 1800 sf. 3BR/2BTH. $360,000. 4 years ago that home would have been $185,000. This is inflation at its simplest. Lowering rates will push the cost of that house up even more.
True mortgage rates haven’t gone down. People are ready to buy it at 360k because the home prices have increased all over the USA not just one or two cities. So, when the mortgage rates fall - people think it’ll go over 360k. Which means the home prices are going to be higher in future? People still think that home prices are low now.
@ people are paying more due to anxiety and they think it will go further higher… honestly it’s hard to guess which way real estate market will swing..if recession happens it would have a dip but it may come back again
Why I got a feeling that everyone in Congress is cashing out before Trump and his team take their place..🤔 It's like they're taking out their anger out on us with all this b.s. (America has fallen..We're so doom.😢) Prayers for everyone. ❤
😂😂. If we keep lowering rates you think housing will come down?? Lowering rates literally drives home prices up as people can afford a more expensive home. Higher rates means you can afford less, so in theory housing prices should drop when rates rise . However, with inflation as crazy as it’s been, houses aren’t coming down in price. Moreover, the only way to fight inflation is to raise the rates. Rates were 14% on my parents first home in 1991, but the house only cost $87k to purchase. Today, that same house is worth $280k, but should only cost $201k based on inflation. Not only that, the dollar doesn’t nearly go as far today as it did in 1991, as the government has mass printed money in the last 5 years. So really that $280k house is the equivalent of a $350k house with the awful buying power we have. Lower rates drive up the price and hurt the middle class in this situation. Inflation needs to be solved before lowering rates.
@@lancebasss3959we’ve had rates at 4-5% for years. When rates went much lower then ppl started buying and bidding higher. Now we have high inflation and lower rates won’t make a difference for lower income folks
Agreed. It's sad to watch people who are probably priced out of home ownership and retirement (since buying stocks in a massive bubble = no rate of return) think the small drop today is bad for them. They need a correction and rate higher for longer.
@revpgesqredux I'm working towards more financial freedom, yes. But in the end EVERYONE takes orders. Don't be fooled to think you can be 100% free. Death is the only 100% freedom. 😉
It was not priced in. IMO it is the reduction in the number of rate cuts for 2025 and beyond that made the market drop. So if we had planned and priced in 6 cuts in 2025 for example but now they are forecasting on 3 that is something that is not priced in yet and causes the market reaction. Hope this helps.
No kidding. I bought my house earlier this year and prices are already up 7% in my neighborhood for the same model. People are striking or quitting everywhere because their wages haven't gone up...Fedex, Canada post, Volkswagen, Boeing...anyone could have seen that rates can't be cut. Heck, even I decided to raise my prices on my products. Better to work less at higher prices. Nobody wants to work for the same wage two years in a row.

3:12 It's not just about the slight uptick--its about the trend. We've never seen a up-trending unemployment rate like that without a corresponding recession in the following years. They are still trying to thread the needle of a soft landing. But yeah, open markets are calling BS, which may just mean the fed has no control over the situation, and rates will in fact be increasing going into deteriorating market conditions. Its all pretty deflationary imo.
The way to curb inflation is to stop buying. It appears US consumers are the only supposedly first world nation that does not understand they have the most control over prices. When things do not move off the shelves and the show room floors they provide no profit. Some profit is better than no profit so sellers and producers will lower prices as demand goes down. The US consumers wants the latest and greatest and is willing to pay top dollar to be one of the first to own something. With that mentality, prices will continue to slide up.
Yes they did but 4.2% unemployment was the target. On another note, they did specify which jobs should be the first to go, and now BLS data shows reductions in well-paying jobs and most growth being in crap jobs; if I see that, Powell sees it, so he's probably more concerned that he used to be about the labor market. Today he seems more concerned with the rate of change of unemployment, and it's low enough that he doesn't care about it (right now)
Could someone explain to me if it’s a good or bad idea to lock in a short term CD (Certificate of Deposit) now? Will the interest go up? Edit: Some quick googling told me that when fed rates go down, so does the CD interests. Apparently 1 year ago it was at ~5.5%, but now its hovering at around 4.6%. Still asking for opinions…
So much for this channel and freedom of speech. I called out the guys claiming “The Congress” gave themselves a 40% pay bump. Those comments stay, but mine gets deleted for putting a link showing the proposed increase is only 3.8%.
Prices are much to high for Powell to unleash inflation yet again!. Powell started lowering rates before prices even started to come down. Many people can't participate in the economy anymore. We cannot lower rates that are ALREADY TO LOW until there is strong deflation and inflation is brought under control at 0%to 1%. The markets are way too expensive as well just like everything else that people HAVE to buy. The markets and prices MUST come down. We need recession with steep deflation! Cutting rates AGAIN was a BAD mistake! No justification for it! Controlling inflation (which has been MUCH higher than the government says) and lowering prices is MUCH more important than making the rich richer!
@@flicks28 Why is it healthy at 2%? Inflation hurts the consumer when buying goods and services they need. Inflation is making money out of nothing and most peoples wages never keep up with it. It's a money-making scheme of the rich who own most of the property, goods, and services that benefit the most from it.
@@flicks28 Healthy inflation is 2% some years with 2% deflation for other years. at a net 0 inflation. In other words an economy that isn't planned out and an economy where people can save their money and not have to worry about its value disappearing if they don't buy assets.

Gas, fuel, groceries and consumer goods are skyrocketing again. Don't kid yourself. Shrinkflation and 5 to 10 percent jumps on top of that have raised my total budget by about 15 to 20% since Septermber.
supply chain problems lead to inflation, the same reason as two years ago. That happens when you announce any every business wants to buy before the tariffs.
@@1001Balance Creating trillions in fake money REALLY leads to inflation!
Still on that "supply chain" issue.... kinda sad but hey 50% of people are stupid.
you are absolutely right. if consumer sentiment is good, so is the unemployment rate. rate is too high for mortgage, car, and bank industry. car industry is near blink of bankruptcy.
rates are a tiny issue with the housing bubble, it's the actual asking prices. So sick of everyone acting like it's the rate that is the problem, but it's cool that home sellers upped asking prices by $200K-$300K for completely average old houses needing repair.
@@istvanpraha the seller needs to consider fees(agent commission, escrow fee, and taxes). seller needs to find replacement home. with high interest rate, it's difficult for new buyer to make payment and qualify for loan. honestly I don't think we have housing bubble at this moment. however we'll face layoff issues(unemployment) if car manufacturers, home builders, and banks layoff staffs because they can't sell with high rate... since our US economy is based on payment/credit.
Only recently came across you, but you just rock! Love how brief and concise your videos are too. Thanks for the great sharing!
The 10 year is on a rampage. We're going to have checking accounts that pay 0.02% on our savings, and 9% mortgage rates.
Lmao
Your exactly right. The 10 year will always tell you everything you need to know.
Even a ‘good savings is only giving 3.90 yet even with good credit credit cards are charging 23-25% interest I can remember with good credit you could get 7.99 % interest on credit cards

Why aren’t you paying off your balance monthly
You’re happy paying 7% to borrow money.? lol. WTF
@ no even then I payed my whole balance off just pointing out how ridiculous the economy is
Inflation: sticky and rising
Fed: let’s cut rates!
These cuts really don't matter. It's the long end that's a problem and that will only go down with FED QE.. but QE will cause more inflation.
fake money in their control to keep us poor.
@ You are absolutely right. The bond market is the last vestige of a free market that we have this country, and it doesn’t agree that inflation is coming down.
I think the Fed will resort to yield curve control in order to help the federal government inflate its debt away.
@@TheLethargicAge I don't see how YCC can possibly work. That needs QE and since the FED is controlling the yield it isn't a profitable investment retuning a negative real yield. So would the FED buy literally every bond? No private investor will. That would require trillions of printing.
The Fed is trapped:
cut rates and they fuel inflation
raise rates and they will bankrupt the Treasury
Almost everyone has been saying this would happen since last year. The rate cuts were done to give the illusion of the economy being in a good place when it’s not
aistockadvisor AI fixes this (AI Stock Advisor). Federal Reserve cancels rate cuts.
This is stupid! How will only two cuts in 2025 do anything? Half a point. Sickening
Sorry, but it's time to end the permanent zero-percent-interest-rate nonsense. (Or better yet, let the FREE MARKET set interest rates!)
They have to say it otherwise inflation continues to go up so they say it to attempt to tame inflation
A friend of mine just bought a $12,000 golf cart. Just to cruise around the neighborhood he doesn't even play golf!
I just saw a new home on the market in my area. 1800 sf. 3BR/2BTH. $360,000. 4 years ago that home would have been $185,000. This is inflation at its simplest. Lowering rates will push the cost of that house up even more.
Will it? If no one can afford it now how will lower rates make it more affordable if the price of the house increases? No one will buy it.
You’re fortunate - here in my market homes has gone up $100,00 in the last 18 months.
True mortgage rates haven’t gone down. People are ready to buy it at 360k because the home prices have increased all over the USA not just one or two cities. So, when the mortgage rates fall - people think it’ll go over 360k. Which means the home prices are going to be higher in future? People still think that home prices are low now.
trump played us for fools
@ people are paying more due to anxiety and they think it will go further higher… honestly it’s hard to guess which way real estate market will swing..if recession happens it would have a dip but it may come back again
THANK YOU BRIAN! ❤
Thank you for the update. I wish you a very nice day.
Why I got a feeling that everyone in Congress is cashing out before Trump and his team take their place..🤔 It's like they're taking out their anger out on us with all this b.s. (America has fallen..We're so doom.😢) Prayers for everyone. ❤
If you have money, you want rates dropped. If you have a brain (and heart) you know this only hurts those who don’t own much. It is so wrong…
So lowering credit card, car, and mortgage payments just hurt the working class...interesting. Guess we should make rates 10% to help them out.
😂😂. If we keep lowering rates you think housing will come down?? Lowering rates literally drives home prices up as people can afford a more expensive home. Higher rates means you can afford less, so in theory housing prices should drop when rates rise . However, with inflation as crazy as it’s been, houses aren’t coming down in price. Moreover, the only way to fight inflation is to raise the rates. Rates were 14% on my parents first home in 1991, but the house only cost $87k to purchase. Today, that same house is worth $280k, but should only cost $201k based on inflation. Not only that, the dollar doesn’t nearly go as far today as it did in 1991, as the government has mass printed money in the last 5 years. So really that $280k house is the equivalent of a $350k house with the awful buying power we have. Lower rates drive up the price and hurt the middle class in this situation. Inflation needs to be solved before lowering rates.
@@lancebasss3959we’ve had rates at 4-5% for years. When rates went much lower then ppl started buying and bidding higher. Now we have high inflation and lower rates won’t make a difference for lower income folks
I think you got this backwards lol
Agreed. It's sad to watch people who are probably priced out of home ownership and retirement (since buying stocks in a massive bubble = no rate of return) think the small drop today is bad for them. They need a correction and rate higher for longer.
I’m in the process of purchasing a home. Should I stop???
Gotta love working in healthcare. I just got a $248 weekly raise. 💪

You called it! I was looking forward to this video 🔥
why did the stock market dump after an expected rate drop? shit makes no sense.
for real I thought it was all priced in
@@whassupbr05because next year will have less rate cuts now than previously expected basically. That’s the drama now.
It was not priced in. IMO it is the reduction in the number of rate cuts for 2025 and beyond that made the market drop. So if we had planned and priced in 6 cuts in 2025 for example but now they are forecasting on 3 that is something that is not priced in yet and causes the market reaction. Hope this helps.
So think of this, why do rates go down but not mortgage rates? Shit don’t gotta make sense until you look into the why(s)
its because of powell's hawkish tone. Take it with a gain of salt, they could change on a dime if they want to
No kidding. I bought my house earlier this year and prices are already up 7% in my neighborhood for the same model. People are striking or quitting everywhere because their wages haven't gone up...Fedex, Canada post, Volkswagen, Boeing...anyone could have seen that rates can't be cut. Heck, even I decided to raise my prices on my products. Better to work less at higher prices. Nobody wants to work for the same wage two years in a row.
so they can raise property taxes
Try for 7 years no pay increase

And by inflation, you mean just raising prices to make more record-breaking profits.

@@geoffreyallen9314during the Great Depression people who had bought gold and silver right before or at the start to preserve their wealth were ordered by the Government to turn it over including the jewelry.
There is no preserving your wealth in a disaster scenario like the one that is predicted to pass. If it happens, you will start at 0 wealth and lose everything like all the other workers and non-oligarchs
3:12 It's not just about the slight uptick--its about the trend. We've never seen a up-trending unemployment rate like that without a corresponding recession in the following years. They are still trying to thread the needle of a soft landing. But yeah, open markets are calling BS, which may just mean the fed has no control over the situation, and rates will in fact be increasing going into deteriorating market conditions. Its all pretty deflationary imo.
Spot on, Sir, as always.
It backfired . So guess misery loves company! Thanks Brian happy Wednesday!
This is going to be just another fire sale for the billionaires.
The way to curb inflation is to stop buying. It appears US consumers are the only supposedly first world nation that does not understand they have the most control over prices. When things do not move off the shelves and the show room floors they provide no profit. Some profit is better than no profit so sellers and producers will lower prices as demand goes down. The US consumers wants the latest and greatest and is willing to pay top dollar to be one of the first to own something. With that mentality, prices will continue to slide up.
Thanks 🙏🏼 for always explaining in an easy to understand fashion.
They think we’re stupid. Thank you for helping us navigate through all the lies they keep trying to feed us🙏🏼
Did they say they wanted to “soften” the labor market when this all started ? Now they are afraid it will hurt the labor market🤨
Exactly. Few remember the prior statements when caught up in the new season of "As the Ponzi Turns".
Yes they did but 4.2% unemployment was the target. On another note, they did specify which jobs should be the first to go, and now BLS data shows reductions in well-paying jobs and most growth being in crap jobs; if I see that, Powell sees it, so he's probably more concerned that he used to be about the labor market. Today he seems more concerned with the rate of change of unemployment, and it's low enough that he doesn't care about it (right now)
Could someone explain to me if it’s a good or bad idea to lock in a short term CD (Certificate of Deposit) now? Will the interest go up?
Edit: Some quick googling told me that when fed rates go down, so does the CD interests. Apparently 1 year ago it was at ~5.5%, but now its hovering at around 4.6%. Still asking for opinions…
They lie. They HAVE TO re-fi old debt at lower rates.
So much for this channel and freedom of speech. I called out the guys claiming “The Congress” gave themselves a 40% pay bump. Those comments stay, but mine gets deleted for putting a link showing the proposed increase is only 3.8%.
The channel is not deleting your comments. Everyone gets comments deleted randomly on every channel. It's TH-cam doing it.

Maybe a little.
Prices are much to high for Powell to unleash inflation yet again!. Powell started lowering rates before prices even started to come down. Many people can't participate in the economy anymore. We cannot lower rates that are ALREADY TO LOW until there is strong deflation and inflation is brought under control at 0%to 1%. The markets are way too expensive as well just like everything else that people HAVE to buy. The markets and prices MUST come down. We need recession with steep deflation! Cutting rates AGAIN was a BAD mistake! No justification for it! Controlling inflation (which has been MUCH higher than the government says) and lowering prices is MUCH more important than making the rich richer!
Healthy inflation is around 2%
Don’t forget some indicators are lagging. You don’t have all the information to make an informed decision.
@@flicks28 Why is it healthy at 2%? Inflation hurts the consumer when buying goods and services they need. Inflation is making money out of nothing and most peoples wages never keep up with it. It's a money-making scheme of the rich who own most of the property, goods, and services that benefit the most from it.
@@flicks28 Healthy inflation is 2% some years with 2% deflation for other years. at a net 0 inflation. In other words an economy that isn't planned out and an economy where people can save their money and not have to worry about its value disappearing if they don't buy assets.
Love the info !!! Thank you !!!
The stock market tanked because the fed will be slower to lower interest rates in 2025. “Brother can you spare a dime?”
Game over friend
Drilling for more oil lowers inflation also. It lowers the cost of energy.

@ yup, instead they should get their money from taxes
Is this why my HYSA keeps dropping their rates? It’s now under 4.0% and the reason why I opened it was because it was over 4.0%
