Fed cut rates as inflation cooled

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September 2024 when trimmed-mean inflation was 2.88%.

Michael A. Gayed reported that trimmed-mean inflation is now 2.19%, and the latest Fed minutes suggest the central bank is leaning toward a rate hike. Wellington Altus strategist James Thorne described this approach as a misdiagnosis, emphasizing that higher rates cannot manufacture oil.

Michael A. Gayed has previously highlighted sector-specific trends, including APLD’s $3.0 billion capital expenditure and $116 million expected revenue. In an earlier report, he noted that ACN’s third-quarter revenue rose 6% while bookings declined 2%. Gayed has frequently focused on both company-level results and broader economic signals.
