  • Fed cuts 'clearest evidence' of inflation progress: Economists

    New Century Advisors chief economist Claudia Sahm and Deutsche Bank's chief US economist Matthew Luzzetti sit down with Seana Smith and Madison Mills on the Morning Brief to discuss what the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut moves this week could signal about the broader economy. Sahm is also a former Federal Reserve Board economist and the namesake of the Fed's Sahm Rule, a key recession indicator. While recent economic data has sent positive signals that inflation is slowing, "some of the industry anecdotes suggest uncertainty" around what the Fed will do, Sahm tells Yahoo Finance. There's uncertainty around the rate cut itself, whether it will be a 25 or 50-basis-point cut, the potential for a recession, and the fact that it is an election year. Amid some uncertainty, Luzzetti says that the "clearest evidence" the Fed has reached a major milestone in its inflation fight is "cutting rates this week." He adds, "There's a debate about 25 or 50 basis points, but they will cut rates." When asked what is the most important thing for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to communicate on Wednesday, Setpember 18, Sahm believes "the rate cut will speak for itself." She adds, "I really think this is one where he's got to lead first with the actions and not try to talk the dovish talk."

  • The election-related 'fool's errand' many investors will pursue

    Scott Inman, GenWealth Financial Advisors financial advisor and host of "Get Ready for the Future Show,” joins Catalysts to discuss how the election may impact markets (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) and how investors can best prepare their portfolios for the rest of the year. Inman believes that markets "don't really care about who is in office," noting that they have performed well and GDP has grown regardless of a Democratic or Republican administration. "So to get caught up in an ideological-driven decision from an investment perspective is really a fool's errand," he argues. However, he notes that specific policy positions could make a difference, explaining, "When you look at what is possibly going to take place based on who is in office, those are the places you could look from an equity perspective. But I also think the overall economic environment matters more." Thus, as the Federal Reserve begins easing rates, the macro environment will improve, creating "a very good spot for bond portfolios moving forward." As the election approaches, Inman expects more volatility, explaining that despite not caring about the winner, markets like certainty.
