Inside the Head of the FED
Manage episode 432749537 series 2507859
With financial markets on edge, the world is anxiously awaiting the Fed’s decision on whether to cut or maintain historically high interest rates. In this episode, we dive into the profound impact these choices have on commercial property, exchange rates, and stock markets. We explore the 'wealth effect' of these rates, now around 5%, and what it means for the real economy. A sharp drop in non-farm payrolls to 115,000 jobs from an average of 250,000 raises concerns about the U.S. economic trajectory—could a recession be on the horizon? We also bring the discussion home, examining how these shifts impact Ireland, especially given our reliance on multinationals like Intel, which recently saw a 30% stock drop. The Fed's data-driven decisions are not unlike ancient Assyrian stargazing, blending science with a dose of guesswork in shaping our economic future.
