Let us hope the economy mimics our President, in that it’s stronger than their relentless attacks.

I do believe a rate cut will happen.

The so-called yield-curve inversion refers to the 10-year Treasury yield trading below its 2-year counterpart. This briefly happened earlier this week and last week. Experts fear a yield-curve inversion because it has historically preceded a recession.

...

A flat yield curve isn’t good either.

We shouldn’t allow the elites to manipulate interest rates and our economy.

Rates should be determined by the market.

The “inverted yield” happened briefly! Now all the idiots in the media are crowing “Recession.” They really are stupid.

They would be very happy to be able to say “recession” a million times between now and the election. Even if it’s a lie.

President Trump has been saying that for awhile.

Of course everyone knows about the video of The President before Congress....which requested his expertise.....many, many years ago. I will post it....as soon as I find it again.

let us ignore every other cause of the inversion and go straight to recessions, that occur all the time... and besides, aren’t recessions suppose to be worse than depressions? and the depression was called that to spin it better than the correction it was?

why can’t americans ever get the truth these days.

Economy needs demand side expansion for healthy growth. Which means more business hiring and starting new ones. Which requires healthy currency, low inflation, low regulations, low taxes, etc.

Printing cheap money has not worked so well for the Third Reich, Zimbabwe, Argentina, and others, even Roman empire tried it and failed.

All of these institutions have destroyed themselves supporting the 0bama Administration. The Fed did it to themselves by pumping a $Trillion a year into the economy to prevent 0bama’s economy from doing a face plant. Their policy requires they suck that cash back in but now they can’t because any rate hike will be overtly “AntiTrump” and open them to well deserved criticism for being partisan in favor of the Rats. They chose a side and it turned out to be the wrong one, just like the FBI, DOJ, CIA, IRS, EPA, etc., & etc.

increase the rate of growth of the money supply + lower interest rates + tax cuts + cut regulations + easy credit = no recession

The Fed has raised 8 times since Trump took office with little inflation. Jay Powell would love to sit back and let our economy hit the rocks before the election but Trump has taken him by the throat and is now in the driver’s seat. My guess is Trump threatened an audit. Look for two more rate cuts by year end and the Fed taking the rate to near zero. The European central banks are already at zero or below.
