Today's episode breaks down one of the most contentious FOMC meetings in nearly a decade. A deeply divided Fed delivered a rate cut that may also mark the end of the cutting cycle, with multiple dissents on both the dovish and hawkish sides and an unusually fractured dot plot. The conversation explores what the dissents reveal about competing inflation and labor-market risks, why Powell says the Fed is effectively flying blind without fresh BLS data, and how alternative data is shaping the debate. It also examines the quiet but significant shift in balance-sheet policy, as the Fed ends QT and begins reserve management purchases that many see as “QE that isn't QE,” and what this hawkish cut, baby QE, and a broken consensus mean for markets heading into an increasingly uncertain 2026 outlook.
For the third time this year, the Federal Reserve cut key interest rates by a quarter-point earlier this week—however, to the chagrin of President Trump, they also signaled this may be the last reduction for several months. While lower rates can bring down borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, Chair Jerome Powell doubts their move on Wednesday would bring much relief to what he called the ‘struggling housing' sector. However, Powell also appeared optimistic about economic growth in 2026, and was encouraged by the ongoing investment in artificial intelligence FOX Business' Taylor Riggs speaks with Lou Basenese, the Executive Vice President of Market Strategy at Prairie Operating Company, to discuss what we can expect from the Fed next year, the concerns of an "AI bubble, and other big business headlines from the past week.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Tomás Goulart e Sarah Campos debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o grande destaque foi a decisão do Fed, que cortou os juros para o intervalo de 3,50%–3,75%, em linha com o esperado. Havia receio sobre um possível tom mais hawk, que não se concretizou: o Powell deixou em aberto possível novo corte em janeiro, mas esclarecendo que as decisões dependerão dos próximos dados. Também foi anunciada compra de títulos de curto prazo para aumento de reserva. Por fim, foi anunciada a recondução unânime dos presidentes regionais do Fed para os mandatos que se iniciam em 2026. Na Europa, a Schnabel, do ECB, indicou estar confortável com as apostas de que o próximo passo do banco central possa ser uma alta de juros, embora não no curto prazo. No Brasil, o Copom manteve a Selic inalterada, com mudanças sutis de comunicação, e reduziu sua projeção condicional de inflação no horizonte relevante de 3,3% para 3,2%. O IPCA de novembro veio ligeiramente abaixo do esperado, reforçando a trajetória desinflacionária. Na atividade, o varejo veio um pouco acima e serviços um pouco abaixo da expectativa. O cenário político foi conturbado após o anúncio da candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro, com votação do PL da Dosimetria, retirada de Moraes e a esposa da Magnitsky e novas pesquisas de opinião. Nos EUA, o juro de 1 ano fechou 7 bps, e as bolsas tiveram desempenho misto – S&P 500 -0,63%, Nasdaq -1,93% e Russell 2000 +1,19%. No Brasil, o jan/29 fechou 22 bps, o Ibovespa subiu 2,16% e o real valorizou 0,60%.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa. The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20 Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20 to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream. Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist. In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise. The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences. The CBP proposal is open for a 60-day public comment period. ESTA – an automated system, costs $40 and is generally valid for two years. An ESTA holder can enter multiple times during that period.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20 letter confirms the details of that action. And it arrives at a very appropriate moment. As we watch certain officials in Europe experiment with coercive fines, regulatory threats, and pressure campaigns aimed at shaping American political discourse, the Moraes precedent is worth remembering. The United States views foreign attempts to control U.S. speech as a human rights violation and a breach of sovereignty.

Those who want respect, give respect. Trump has just been chosen as ‘the most powerful person in Europe'. ‘ Politico reported: “Top EU officials tried to set the record straight Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump denounced Europe as a ‘decaying' group of countries ruled by ‘weak' leaders. […] ‘I think they're weak', the Republican said, referring to the continent's presidents and prime ministers, adding, ‘I think they don't know what to do. Europe doesn't know what to do'.” “European Council President António Costa said Europe and the U.S. ‘must act as allies' — and urged the Republican leader to show ‘respect'.

If the move goes through, it would effectively criminalize a major arm of humanitarian relief in Gaza and beyond. Although, it’s been noted that such sanctions would be highly unusual, since the U.S. is both a U.N. member and the host nation of the body that created the agency in 1949. Despite this, Trump previously reaffirmed that the U.S. would not fund UNRWA earlier this year. In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also referred to UNRWA as a subsidiary of Hamas: “UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it… The United Nations is here, we're seeing the work they're doing… They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA.

Zelenskyy responded, saying the decision is solely for Ukrainians. “This is a question for the people of Ukraine, not people from other states, with all due respect to our partners,” he said. Ukraine’s constitution bars elections under martial law, but Zelenskyy signaled he’s willing to hold one anyway and asked the U.S. and European partners for help securing a wartime vote. “Since this question is raised today by the president of the United States of America, our partners, I will answer very briefly: Look, I am ready for elections,” he said. “Then, in the next 60 to 90 days, Ukraine will be ready to hold the elections. I personally have the will and readiness for this.” Zelenskyy’s five-year term expired in May 2024.

An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Brian Cole Jr, the man charged with placing pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees' Washington, DC headquarters the evening before January 6, 2021, was reportedly a massive fan of the children's series “My Little Pony,” making fan art and fan fiction dedicated to the characters.Per the New York Post, Cole, 30, appeared to have gone by usernames including iDeltaVelocity, Bron1Delta, Delta1Forgotten, and Blue Velocity online. In one account on an online forum, Cole allegedly posted dozens of fan art pieces dedicated to the My Little Pony franchise. Many of the art pieces feature characters with light purple bodies and multicolored hair.In a Tumblr account associated with the username delta1forgotten, Cole allegedly wrote in response to another user's drawing of a My Little Pony character with a machine gun, “Eh… I'd give her an RPG [Rocket-Propelled Grenade]. What can I say? Explosions are COOL!!”My Little Pony is a franchise marketed at young girls. An adult male fan of the toys are known as a “Brony,” a community that at its peak was large enough to hold annual conventions. Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr Daniel Chadborn wrote in his book “Meet the Bronies: The Psychology of the Adult My Little Pony Fandom,” “The subculture of Bronies was very online and unique and attracted a lot of male fans, who were breaking gender norms, which attracted a lot of attention.”He noted that the subculture is generally not sexual, however, he is not surprised that some members within the community are troubled. “Someone who is disaffected is often going to look for spaces to engage in, for a sense of identity and belonging.”Cole also allegedly wrote fanfiction dedicated to the franchise, with one story marked as being an “adventure/horror” story featuring the characters Applejack and Applebloom Source: thepostmillenial.com Winning: Woke D.C.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?” .

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens. Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

Our Global Head of Macro Strategy Matthew Hornbach and Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen discuss the Fed's path as inflation remains above its target and the labor market continues cooling.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Matthew Hornbach: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Matthew Hornbach, Global Head of Macro Strategy. Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist. Matthew Hornbach: Yesterday, the FOMC meeting delivered another quarter percentage point rate cut. Today we're here to discuss what happens next.It's Thursday, December 11th at 8:30 AM in New York. So, Mike, once again, the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points. That outcome was not a surprise, and the markets reacted positively. But there were some surprises. A bit of a divided FOMC, if you will. How did things play out during the meeting and what are some important takeaways to keep in mind? Michael Gapen: Yeah, well certainly Matt, it is a divided committee. I think that's clear. I think one key takeaway for me is the idea that the Fed is done with risk management rate cuts, and now we're back to data dependent. So, what does that mean? I mean, a risk management rate cut isn't necessarily about the data you have in hand and the data you see; it's your view about the distribution of risks around that. So, in some ways, you're not data dependent when you're making those cuts. Now, I think the challenge at this press conference for Powell was to say, ‘Well, now things are different.' And it was a nuance in the sense that cuts from here, if and when they come, will be data dependent. But I think at the same time he did not want to communicate that the bar for those rate cuts were exceptionally high. But I think he threaded the needle quite well in transitioning from risk management cuts, which aren't data dependent to an outlook, which is now more data dependent. And I thought he did that artfully well. So, for me, that's the big key. Secondarily I'd add a takeaway for me was he seems fairly confident that inflation will be coming down, and I think he still believes the labor market is cooling. The blend of that came across as a bit dovish to me. And then the third thing I would add is he fairly explicitly ruled out the risk of rate hikes. So, I think the combination of those three things: data dependence, still concerns about cooling in the labor market, and chopping off the upper half of the rate path distribution – those were kind of the key takeaways from my point. Matthew Hornbach: So, Mike, with respect to the labor market, Chair Powell did address it in a couple of different ways. But one of the ways that stood out to my ears was how he described some technical factors that people are well aware of – that could mean the economy is actually shedding jobs to the tune of about 20,000 per month. I was wondering if you could just briefly address what those factors – that are supposedly so well known – might be. Michael Gapen: Sure. So, obviously the data that gets released, there are the initial releases and then there are revisions. And in the labor market, there are what are called annual benchmark revisions. So, the BLS released a preliminary estimate of that benchmark revision several months ago, and if you apply that initial estimate, it would suggest that job growth in 2025 could be about 60,000 jobs per month, less than has already been reported. But at the same time, we know immigration controls are slowing growth in the labor force. So, this is what Powell is calling the really curious balance. How can you have employment growth basically zero, maybe even negative, after these revisions come in – and the unemployment rate relatively stable. Yes, it's gone up a few tenths, but not like you would normally expect that rise would be if we were shedding jobs. So that to me is why he… You know; the technical factors about revisions and things that lead them to be, I think, very unsure about where the labor market is; and lean in the direction of thinking lower rates are better to manage those risks than where they were six months ago. Matthew Hornbach: One of the points that you raised in your opening explanation of the meeting was about inflation. And Chair Powell mentioned an expectation that the inflation related to tariffs would be peaking in the first quarter of the year. That sounded very familiar to me because I believe that's your expectation as well. I'm curious. How are you looking at tariffs and the inflation related to tariffs today? And do you agree with Chair Powell still? Michael Gapen: We do. Our modeling of the tariff pass through and our conversations with clients and firms and what we hear on corporate earnings calls suggests that this is a long process. Meaning tariffs go in place, prices don't go up the next month. Firms make pricing decisions that take time to implement. So, we agree that the tariff pass through story will extend into 2026 and likely through the end of the first quarter. And if that's true, then goods prices should continue to move higher. The year-on-year rate of inflation should move higher, peaking at 3 percent or a little above in the first quarter of the year. And then tat effect should we think be over, which would open the door for overall inflation to start coming back down. So, I will use the dreaded T-word. We think ultimately inflation from tariffs will be transitory. And I agree with the Chair's timeline; inflation should peak in the first quarter of the year and then start to trend down. That said, we think inflation will be above the Fed's 2 percent target into 2027, and this is the cost of providing insurance to the labor market. Matthew Hornbach: So finally, all things considered, what is your outlook for Fed policy in 2026? Michael Gapen: Yeah, and the key here, Matt, is that exactly what you just implied about tariffs and inflation still going on into 2026, right? Because what we know is while firms are gauging exactly where they should be pricing, they've been offsetting tariffs through lower demand for labor. So, we think the Fed will be cutting again in January. We have three months of employment data that come across two employment reports between now and the January meeting. We think they will show continued cooling in the labor market. And then we have a second cut next year in in April. So, while tariffs are getting passed through, we think the labor market will continue to cool. And this Fed will be biased to cutting rates to provide support to the labor market in the process. That would mean the federal funds rate gets to 3 – 3.25 percent in the second quarter of 2026, where we think it'll stay.So Matt, I'd like to ask you a question. What I noticed was the rate market backed up going into the meeting, despite the fact that market participants were projecting a cut. And then the rate market rallied, in my view, significantly during the meeting and right after. What do you think was happening there? Matthew Hornbach: So, there's a phenomenon that happens in all markets where investors often speculate on a potential outcome. And if the outcome is then delivered, the follow-on price action is underwhelming. That is colloquially known as buying the rumor and selling the fact. So, I think going into this meeting kind of in line with your expectations, investors were forming very similar expectations about how the FOMC statement itself would change and the implications that that might have for the future of Fed policy. When that hawkish cut was delivered almost exactly as you had expected, Mike, I think, investors started thinking about the future in a slightly different way. Now that their expectations were met with the meeting outcome, they started to consider, the data that is forthcoming. And whenever, officials at the Fed talk about data in the way that Chair Powell spoke about the data – and by which I mean labeled the labor market as potentially losing jobs at the moment, and labeling inflation as transitory, that we'd be past the peak of tariff related inflation after the first quarter of the year. Investors can kind of look at those factors and extrapolate going forward, what that may mean for Fed policy in the first half of 2026. So, I think similar to your expectations for policy after this meeting, investors probably became a bit more confident in your outlook for Fed policy that we would see additional rate cuts in the first half of next year. And then, of course, after the April meeting, the baton will be passed to the next Fed chair, and I think investors are considering what policy might look like under that new regime at the Fed. And on the margin, the view is that the next Fed chair would be more likely than not to continue the process of lowering policy rates. So, I think all of those factors played into the post press conference, and even during the press conference reaction. Michael Gapen: Okay Matt, one last question, if I may. How did the events of the FOMC this week and the market reaction, how does that dovetail with how you're thinking about longer term rates, in particular where you see 10-year yields going? And the dollar? Matthew Hornbach: So, 10-year yields are relatively close to 4 percent at this juncture, and we expect them to drift modestly lower in the first half of 2026, as the Fed continues this process of lowering the policy rate. One point that's very important to make here is that the longer-term Treasury yields today are now sitting well above the Fed's policy rate, and that hasn't been the case for many, many years now. A lot of investors with whom we speak think that longer term yields can head a lot higher from here. But we're skeptical – because the higher that those yields go relative to the Fed's policy rate, the more attractive those bonds become for other investors to buy. So, we don't expect a big increase in longer term interest rates. Unlike some investors, we are expecting interest rates in the long end to remain relatively stable with a downward bias.On the dollar, similarly, we have the dollar continuing its depreciation trend, which it began in January of 2025, earlier this year. We expect that depreciation trend to continue in the first half of 2026 before – similar to the interest rate path – we see a little bit of dollar strength in the second half of the year. And so, you know this being the last FOMC meeting of the year, Mike, I guess we're going to have to take a wait and see approach until the FOMC reconvenes in the new year. Thanks a lot for taking the time to talk about the Fed with me this year. Michael Gapen: Great speaking with you Matt. See you in 2026. Matthew Hornbach: And thanks for listening.

David Busch dissects Powell's comments at the post-rate-decision press conference and looks at how the Fed's makeup could change with a new Chair. Looking at tech, he says lower rates will be a tailwind for the sector, and he's still a “firm believer.” He would stay invested in large-caps, but says to offset it with dividend payers.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The Senate, is preparing to vote on two healthcare bills today. One bill is a clean extension of the Obamacare tax subsidies for the next three years. The other bill is a plan that would take the money granted to the subsidies and put them into health savings accounts to help Americans pay out-of-pocket health costs. The U.S. House of Representatives, meanwhile, passed a massive $901-billion defense policy bill on Wednesday. The bill now heads to the Senate before heading to President Trump's desk.The Federal Reserve has approved a quarter-point rate cut in a divided vote. Chair Jerome Powell called the move a close call. President Trump criticized the cut as too small and said higher rates are holding back the economy. Trump is weighing potential candidates to replace Powell when his term ends in May.President Trump has officially launched his new immigration “Gold Card” offering a fast-track U.S. residency for non-citizens who donate $1 million and pass vetting. The announcement comes as the administration also moves to tighten the Visa-Waiver Program. Travelers from 42 countries would be required to submit five years of social media history and other personal data.
FOMC cut rates by 25bps to 3.50-3.75%, as expected, while the vote split was 9-3, as Miran voted for a 50bps cut. Goolsbee and Schmid voted for unchanged.Fed said it is to assess incoming data, evolving outlook and balance of risks in considering the extent and timing of further adjustment (tweaked from “in considering additional adjustments”), and it will monitor implications of incoming information for the economic outlook.Powell said adjustments to rates since September should help stabilise the labour market and keep pressure down on inflation, while the Fed is well positioned to determine adjustments to rates, and rates are now in a plausible range of neutral.Powell also noted there is a lot of data due before the next meeting, and the Fed can wait and see how the economy evolves when asked about whether the 'risk management' phase of rate cuts is over.APAC stocks were ultimately subdued after failing to sustain the early positive momentum from the dovishly perceived FOMC; US equity futures gave back their post-FOMC spoils as tech/AI concerns were stoked following a slump in Oracle shares.European equity futures indicate a softer cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.1% after the cash market closed with losses of 0.2% on Wednesday.Looking ahead, highlights include Swedish CPI (Nov), US Initial Jobless Claims (6 Dec, w/e), SNB/CBRT Rate Announcements, IEA OMR, OPEC MOMR, Speakers including SNB's Schlegel, BoE's Bailey, ECB's de Guindos, Supply from Italy & US, Earnings from Broadcom, Costco & lululemon.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk
Softwarereus Oracle kwam met een veel en veel beter dan verwachte winst. Maar bij dat goede nieuws blijft het, want beleggers schrikken van de rest. Ze hadden op meer omzet gerekend, maar vooral op minder investeringen in AI. De directie stelt aandeelhouders niet bepaald gerust: met een crash van het aandeel tot gevolg. Je bent de vraag 'is er een AI-bubbel' misschien wel zat, maar toch komt 'ie misschien wel voorbij. Want concurrenten gaan ook onderuit op de beurs. Waren Oracle-beleggers eerder dit jaar niet veel en veel te enthousiast? Ook hebben we het over het rentebesluit van de Fed, de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Saai? Zeker niet! In jaren is dat niet zo spannend geweest als nu. Er zijn maar liefst drie dissidenten en een schamele renteverlaging voor 2026. Wij kijken wat dat met aandelen doet.Hebben we het ook over kunstmest, want daar wil Arend Jan Kamp het graag over hebben. Een aflevering dus over poep, maar we hebben het ook over de Warner Bros-soap, een seniele topman én over Trump die de Houthi's nadoet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the breaking news coming out of the Federal Reserve as they lower interest rates 0.25%. While most saw this coming, the Fed doesn't do this in economically prosperous times. In fact, they acknowledged a slower pace ahead and that there are many risks ahead. Well, that's an understatement. The Fed is not really trying to fix the economy that they themselves are destroying. They're trying to make it look as though they're doing something while doing the bare minimum. We are quickly entering into a digital system. Once the dollar is wiped out, in comes the central bank digital currency (CBDC). This has been planned for for decades. We saw negative interest rates in 2020 and we saw a recession in 2008 that never ended but was simply papered over. In 2012, we saw interest rates dramatically lowered in order to save the economy from total disrepair. That was a 5.5% drop. Now, we have interest rates sitting low as an oncoming wave approaches and they can only drop interest rates so much. There is no saving this system and they know it. This latest news appears to say something about the year we are about to head into. How will this affect us in 2026? Meanwhile, Powell on Wednesday announced $45 billion in bill purchases.

Die S&P-500-Futures drehen nach unten, nachdem der Markt gestern noch knapp an einem neuen Rekordhoch vorbeischrammte. Auslöser ist vor allem die massive Enttäuschung über Oracle: Die Aktie stürzt nach schwachen Cloud-Umsätzen und höherer Ausgabenprognose über 13 Prozent ab und zieht das gesamte KI-Segment mit nach unten. Nvidia, AMD und CoreWeave handeln vorbörslich schwächer, weil der Markt nun stärker hinterfragt, wie schnell sich milliardenschwere KI-Investitionen auszahlen. Damit verpufft ein Teil der Dynamik, die die Federal Reserve am Vortag ausgelöst hatte – mit ihrer dritten Zinssenkung und dem Signal, dass eine erneute Anhebung vom Tisch ist. Powell betonte zugleich, dass Trumps Zollpolitik Inflationsdruck erzeugt habe. Während die großen Indizes gestern allesamt zulegen konnten und der Russell 2000 sogar ein Rekordhoch erreichte, mahnen einige Strategen zur Vorsicht: Die Fed bleibt abwartend, die Zinsreise könnte länger dauern als der Markt hofft. Auch heute stehen Oracle erneut im Fokus, nachdem die Aktie vorbörslich ein neues Tief markierte und Analysten ihre Kursziele reihenweise senkten.

Bill Lee and Ben Ayers preview the FOMC announcement. Bill talks about Powell's “lame duck” era and Ben calls division the “key word” for the Fed right now. Ben expects a cut, but not a complete consensus and thinks dissension will remain a theme in 2026; he also foresees more cuts as a “shadow Chair” puts pressure on the group. Bill looks at services inflation within the CPI, calling it the “stubborn one” even as the overall picture moderates.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Jeffrey Small expects the Fed's hawkish tone to continue and says “there's nothing to guarantee” we get a rate cut despite high odds in the market. He says Powell could be the “Christmas Grinch” for the third time in a row, bringing up that Fed announcements in the last few years hit December rallies. “I don't think a quarter point cut is going to do much for the markets anyway,” he adds. He thinks Nvidia (NVDA) is “grotesquely misunderstood,” arguing that it is a long-term AI utility, not a cyclical semiconductor company. He also calls Tesla (TSLA) the “biggest AI player I know.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Sam Stovall thinks the unemployment rate could surprise to the upside in delayed October data because of the government shutdown, but thinks it will moderate in October. He explains what the bond market reaction means about sentiment. While it seems like the Fed wants to pause rate cuts, he expects one in each half of 2026. He is paying close attention to the Q&A portion of Powell's press conference.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

La decisione della Fed è attesa questa sera: i mercati sperano in un taglio dei tassi, ma Powell ha avvertito che non è affatto garantito, vista la scarsità di dati dopo lo shutdown. Le aspettative di inflazione di lungo periodo restano tra 2,2 e 2,3 per cento, mentre quelle a un anno dell'Università del Michigan sono ancora al 4,6 per cento, complice l'effetto temporaneo dei dazi. Trump, che spinge per un taglio, in comizio ha rivendicato i successi dell'amministrazione, attaccato Biden e ribadito che "la mia parola preferita è dazi". In Europa, Lagarde ha escluso tagli e aperto alla possibilità di rialzi, sostenendo che l'economia dell'Eurozona va meglio del previsto e rilanciando la proposta di eurobond per la difesa. Ne abbiamo parlato con Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito alla Bocconi.Istat: in primo trimestre piu 9,5 per cento compravendite immobiliari abitativeNel primo trimestre sono state registrate 228.623 convenzioni notarili di compravendita, in crescita dell'1,5 per cento sul trimestre precedente e dell'8,7 per cento su base annua. Il comparto abitativo, che rappresenta oltre il 93 per cento del totale, aumenta del 9,5 per cento rispetto al 2024, trainato da Nord-ovest e Nord-est, mentre il Centro è in calo. Il comparto economico resta stabile. Il Rapporto Federproprietà-Censis evidenzia tuttavia che in Italia ci sono 8,5 milioni di case inutilizzate: molti proprietari non affittano per timore della morosità. Nel frattempo, gli affitti brevi superano le 691.000 strutture. Ne abbiamo parlato con Mario Breglia, presidente di Scenari Immobiliari.Anfia: transizione da correggere, così l'Europa si fermaBruxelles sta definendo un nuovo pacchetto per l'automotive che potrebbe rivedere lo stop ai motori endotermici dal 2035 e sancire la neutralità tecnologica, includendo anche biocarburanti ed e-fuel. La presentazione potrebbe slittare perché restano nodi politici e industriali. Anfia chiede una correzione urgente della transizione ecologica, giudicata troppo rapida e già dannosa: la filiera automobilistica europea conta 13 milioni di addetti e, nonostante investimenti elevati nell'elettrificazione, si stimano 100.000 posti persi nel 2024 e altri 400.000 a rischio entro il 2028. L'associazione sollecita obiettivi di CO2 più realistici, flessibilità sul 2035 con una quota fino al 25 per cento di veicoli non elettrici, riconoscimento delle tecnologie alternative e maggior tutela della produzione europea. Ne abbiamo parlato con Roberto Vavassori, presidente di Anfia.

JetNation Flight 29 is back, our weekly New York Jets podcast hosted by Rami Lavi and former Jets running back Bilal Powell. Each week, we offer Jets fans a veteran's perspective on game results, coaching decisions, and developing storylines. This week's episode mixed nostalgia and honest evaluation as Powell reacted to Leon Washington showing up in number 29 at the game on Sunday and people thinking it was Bilal. They also discuss Fernando Mendoza draft buzz after a standout throw, and dove into the frustrations of facing AFC East opponents for the second time. Powell also opened up about quarterback traits, coaching concerns, and lessons he learned in his own career, all while answering questions submitted by members of the JetNation Forums. Fernando Mendoza Buzz and AFC East Frustrations The Jets win may have placed them in range for Fernando Mendoza, and Rami highlights the third down throw that he believes put the quarterback firmly into the draft conversation. Powell also discussed how the Dolphins' latest win may have helped Mike McDaniel keep his job. That led to a wider point, Bilal Powell cannot understand why the Jets consistently struggle more in the second matchup with divisional opponents. He agreed with Bart Scott's criticism of Steve Wilkes and questioned whether Aaron Glenn truly believed Wilkes was the right choice at defensive coordinator. Powell wondered why Glenn hasn't considered retaking play-calling duties, warning that things “will only get uglier from here.” Attacking Tua and Learning From Other Rebuilds Tua Tagovailoa being a left-handed quarterback was one of Powell's biggest points of emphasis. He believes the Jets should attack him from the left side and finds it frustrating that the defensive approach hasn't consistently reflected that. Listener Liam Johnson also brought up how quickly the Jaguars and Bears have turned things around, and Powell agreed the Jets must stop relying on excuses while other franchises show faster and more effective rebuilds. BP on Quarterbacks and JetNation Forum Questions Powell spent time discussing quarterback development, including Brady Cook, the wide range of places successful quarterbacks are drafted from, and even jokingly comparing Fernando Mendoza's personality to a “goofy” Ryan Fitzpatrick. He shared how Anthony Lynn taught him to read defenses pre-snap, shaping the way he saw the game. The episode closed with JetNation Forum questions: Mr. Rogers asked whether the Jets should address wide receiver help through the draft or free agency, and Powell stressed the need to bring real support for Garrett Wilson. Slick TP asked what offense Powell would run if he were a coordinator, and Powell described a motion-heavy system built around quick reads and horizontal stress for young quarterbacks.The post JetNation Flight 29 – Fernando Mendoza Buzz, Coaching Concerns & Bilal Powell Answers Fan Questions appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

“The big surprise” tomorrow would be if Powell changes the course for next year, Ben Fulton says. He discusses his rate expectations for 2026, the pressure from the White House, and dissension within the Fed. He thinks sector rotation will continue, anticipating healthcare will do well into the midterm elections, while others may languish. “I'm a big believer that AI will be a dominant force, much like the web was in the 80's and 90's,” he adds, but thinks the tech sector could have gotten over its skis.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On the night of March 9, 1963, officers Karl Hettinger and Ian Campbell made a traffic stop on the corner of Carlos Avenue and Gower Street and Hollywood. Early that day, the officers had been instructed to seek out and bust anyone they suspected of being engaged in gay sexual activity, and that night they were confident they'd found two men that fit the bill. However, after Campbell instructed both men to step out of the car, the driver, Gregory Powell, pulled out a pistol and held it on Campbell, effectively disarming him, while other man, Jimmy Smith, disarmed Hettinger. The two officers were then forced into Powell's car and driven more than one hundred miles away, where they executed Ian Campbell, while Hettinger escaped into a nearby onion field and managed to find help at the home of a farmer. The murder of Ian Campbell in the onion field shocked residents of California, not only because it was so cold-blooded, but also because of how the incident unfolded. By yielding to the demands of their hostage taker and handing over his gun, many people felt that Hettinger was at least partially responsible for Campbell's death. Powell and Smith were quickly captured, tried, and convicted for the murder, but the consequences of that night in the onion field would have a profound and lasting effect on police policy all over the country for years to come.Recommendations in this episodeFollow @themhoffers Follow @annaleegrace15 ( YouTube or Instagram)Follow @ChefRileyMeehan and Purchase his book A Little Bit ExtraReferencesAssociated Press. 1963.

You could call this an early Christmas gift. A delayed September PCE report was released last week, focusing on core inflation—a price measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It came in cooler than expected, which is encouraging for the Trump administration, as it has been pushing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. While attention is on this week's rate decision, eyes are already on next year. You could say the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, is on Trump's naughty list, and the nominee to replace him will likely be named in early 2026. What will that mean for the direction of monetary policy? Kenny Polcari, the Chief Market Strategist at Slatestone Wealth, shares insights on what investors are expecting from the Fed this week, who they think may replace Powell, and what to anticipate from the markets in the final weeks of 2025.
