💥 BREAKING: Federal Reserve Just Cancelled Rate Cuts & What to Do After the Market Drop – Free Livestream Tonight!
Hi everyone!
Big news from the Federal Reserve last night! While the market was expecting stability, the Fed surprised many by cutting the number of rate cuts in 2025 (yes a lot of “cuts”)—and Wall Street didn’t like it. The market tumbled over 3%, leaving many investors rattled. Let’s break it all down.

What the Fed Did and Why It Matters
Rate Cut: The Fed lowered interest rates by 0.25%, bringing the target range to 4.25%-4.5%. This marks a full 1% reduction from their peak earlier this year.
The Reason: Chair Powell emphasized the need to support economic growth and employment while continuing the fight to bring inflation down to their 2% target.
While inflation has eased (core inflation is now 2.8%, down from 5.6% in 2022), the Fed sees risks on both sides. Moving too aggressively risks stalling the economy, but moving too slowly could let inflation linger.
Why Did Markets Fall?
Higher Inflation Expectations: The Fed’s updated projections show inflation staying higher for longer, with core inflation not hitting 2% until 2027. This signals the Fed may still need to act more decisively down the road.
Uncertainty Ahead: The Fed’s cautious tone spooked markets, as investors worry about the potential for sticky inflation or even further surprises in 2025.
For investors, this creates a double-edged sword:
Good News: Lower rates could stimulate economic activity and support corporate earnings.
Bad News: Persistent inflation could erode consumer spending power, and uncertainty tends to weigh on markets.
In short, volatility is back—and it’s time to get strategic.
