The third wave of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve has arrived, but the market's reaction is quite strange—rates have been slashed to 3.6%, and the Dow Jones has surged and then plummeted. Global investors are pondering this question: is this a market rescue, or is it adding fuel to inflation?
🔥The data speaks for itself. The core PCE is still stubbornly high at 2.83%, and the super core inflation is stuck at 3.3%, while the price increases in the service sector are as sticky as glue. What about consumers? They continue to buy, buy, buy, with Trump's tariff threats lurking in the background... In this context, to lower interest rates is indeed counterintuitive.
💥Even more magical is the invisible hand behind it all. For the midterm elections, the White House is directly pressuring the Federal Reserve, even claiming it wants to replace leaders who are "obedient." The national debt has exploded to 37.7 trillion, and each rate cut can save hundreds of billions in interest expenses—this is not an economic policy, but a policy for votes. The divisions within the Federal Reserve have reached historic highs, and its century-long independence is gradually being eroded.
⚠️The market is giving a warning with real actions. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury remains steady above 4.1%, and long-term inflation expectations are still climbing. To understand monetary policy now, one must first look at the political calendar. If inflation is truly ignited for the sake of elections, the stagflation nightmare of the 1970s may no longer be just history.
🌪️ Global assets are trembling — will you choose to follow the trend and cut interest rates, or will you prepare in advance to dodge inflation? Let's discuss your judgment in the comments.

Here we go again trying to trick us into buying the dip, three rounds of interest rate cuts and the money is still depreciating, damn it.

It's another case of politics taking precedence, the Fed has really become a cash machine.

Here comes the Be Played for Suckers again, this time the screenwriter is really generous, the ballot policy is clearer than the economic policy.

37.7 trillion in national debt, every rate cut saves a few hundred billion, this math problem gives me a headache, but I know who will foot the bill in the end.
---
Fed's independent status wearing down? Ha, it was never independent, it’s just that this time it’s not so hidden.
---
The Dow jumped and then Plummeted, watching it feels like looking at my own account, I could lose on both ends.
---
Inflation expectations are still climbing, are you still discussing whether to follow the trend? I’ve already jumped in, anyway, I’ve already lost.

No matter how tragic the story of stagflation in the 1970s is told, it can't compare to my current plight.

Interest rate cuts to save the market? I think it's to save votes; inflation is the real killer.
