I think the FED will keep curr

I think the FED will keep current rates on hold. I speculate that they made a bit of noise about a rate reduction to keep most investors from a serious sell-off. I speculate also that the FED won’t necessarily drop rates if inflation is below 2%. It seems more investor panic management than any actual intention to cut rates 😖. But who knows, with a recession looming, I predict that rate cuts won’t happen until late in the year, December even 😣☹️😭…

@SPACE ROCKET：Fed Rate Cut in June Unconfirmed, Are We Due for Correction?
