Fed Raises Interest Rates Again

[Oddball]

Economy is chugging along...Not gangbusters, but a better rate of growth than under the Mulatto Messiah...Housing sales have slowed down.....I have an idea, lets raise interest rates and stifle it all!

Fed raises interest rates, foresees fewer hikes next year

What the fuck are they thinking?

This was was unnecessary raise.

 

[kyzr]

Trump took their options away when he said that they shouldn't raise the rate.
If didn't raise the rate it looks like they bowed to political pressure, and they need to assert their independence.
Trump really needs to learn when to keep his fucking trap shut, which is pretty much all fucking day

Many people think that raising the prime rate at this time might not have been the best thing for the US economy, in view of the tightening of the global economies in several areas around the world. I wonder if the Fed is as politicized as every other DC entity/organization appears to be. Did they do it to show their independence from Trump, even though it could lead to slower economic growth in 2019?

i would like to think that our feds are not that petty as to give a flying fuck what people think when it comes to matters such as this.

"i know this will fuck shit up, but damn it, we must show trump who is boss!"

What the fuck are they thinking?

Simple...they need this monetary tool to deal with a serious economic downturn. They have to get rates up, else they won't have much room to lower them.

I agree. This was a bad call.

At least it was only 25 basis points instead of 50.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Well fuck, anything to get rid of Trump, even sabotaging the economy.

So by raising the rate, it looks like they are also responding to political pressure. Simply following your logic.

No, it was the right call, and they have waited too long to raise the rates.
