Why Powell's Stance on Fewer Rate Cuts Next Year Makes Sense

Powell’s signal to potentially slow down rate cuts in 2025 might not sound great at first, but it’s actually a smart move. If businesses and consumers expect rates to drop faster, they’re likely to delay investments and big purchases, waiting for cheaper financing.

By keeping expectations in check, Powell encourages action now instead of later. Companies are more likely to commit to projects, and consumers are less inclined to delay spending. This helps sustain economic momentum and avoids stalling growth in anticipation of lower rates.

It’s not the easiest pill to swallow, but it’s a calculated decision to keep the economy moving. Thoughts?
TLDR: Spy to the Moon.
