Why there may not be Fed rate cuts until Christmas

At an event on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted that rate cuts may not come as soon as investors had hoped given how stubborn inflation has been.
Blake Gwinn, the head of US rates strategy at RBC Capital Markets, thinks that is likely the case too. That's why he reduced his rate cut expectations from three to just one cut in December. Gwinn argues that Fedspeak has changed in recent weeks, with officials no longer framing January's hot inflation report as idiosyncratic.
On the possibility of a rate hike, Gwinn says that the bar for the Fed to hike rates is "very very high" and that the markets aren't really entertaining the idea.
Watch the video above to hear Gwinn's take on how the 2024 election may play a role in the Fed's decision making.

No Rate Cut Coming!
7% Before 4% Fed Rate

So much for those 6 cuts you priced into the market in December eh yahoo?

The Fed left rates near zero for way too many years. Then the Fed raised rates way too high and way too fast. And now the Fed is helpless due to their mistakes of the past 15 years. If they lower rates then inflation explodes. If they leave rates alone or raise rates to fight inflation; then they put us into a very bad recession. That's why silver has been the best play in April and will continue to be for many months. Gold is at an all time high and might go higher; but silver is only halfway to it's all time high and that's why silver has been the best play in April despite a bad day today

I’ve been saying this for a year. Rate cut in December 24. He will do some kind of QE before that to keep the markets from crashing.
