This is the Fed's way in pre-Bernanke era. Now Fed has an extra function: taking care of employment
U.S. private sector just added 96k real jobs in last 3 months. On the other hand the threat of inflation still is hanging here. Inflation actually hasn't gone away. Powell knows it. This creates a dilemma for the Fed.

Definitely .25 this week... then look at the data, but probably a couple more similar this year.

25 now.
It's a close call, though. Market is pricing it roughly 60/40 between 50 and 25. My feeling is that they won't want to signal panic with a large first move. We will see.
Maybe another cut before year end. Really depends on the data.
