US President Donald Trump says inflation in the country is low enough for Fed chair Jerome Powell to deliver "a big, beautiful cut" to interest rates. US consumer prices rose 2.7% in December, still significantly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Meanwhile, the heads of global central banks come together in support of Powell, after the Justice Department's criminal investigation against him raised concerns over the Fed's independence.

Markets reacted sharply as investors priced in a more dovish trajectory for next year, with traders now expecting multiple cuts if growth continues to slow.

Heading toward 24 hours after the FOMC cut interest rates by 25bps, Kevin Green takes everything we learned Wednesday and explains what it means for Thursday's trading action and beyond. He notes one more rate cut priced in for 2026 and a door opening for quantitative easing. Something else KG sees as substantial: the amount of dissenting votes compared to historic metrics. As for Oracle's (ORCL) earnings, KG calls the report "not great" as debt continues to balloon for the A.I. data center buildout. Nvidia (NVDA) also ticked lower after Oracle's earnings. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Joyce Huang expects one rate cut next year, saying there's a chance inflation could spike if it cuts too much. “Rates are likely to remain rangebound,” she adds, and highlights opportunities in the short end of the curve. Joyce still likes the tech sector and sees momentum in its rally, however she thinks there could be more volatility as the AI thesis continues to be tested. Joyce looks at the record amounts still in money markets and similar products and argues why she thinks cash will be deployed back into markets in early 2026.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Thursday morning's downside action can be attributed to a number of movers, though Kevin Hincks says it's weakness worth watching. He takes investors through the jobless report which showed 236,000 initial claims. Kevin makes the case Thanksgiving week skewed the numbers. On the Fed, he sees a path for quantitative easing as the FOMC looks to buy $40 billion in treasury bills. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

MS Now's Stephanie Ruhle is back on Independent Americans for the first time since March 2020, joining host Paul Rieckhoff to let it fly. She's candid, uninterrupted and going deep on Trump's unchecked power over the U.S. military, the runaway big business of youth sports, the affordability crisis, and why “kind is the new cool.” Paul opens with a rapid-fire rundown of Trump's Pennsylvania “affordability” speech, looming Fed rate cuts, Venezuela boat strikes and alleged war crimes, the Gang of Eight briefing, Admiral Holsey's sudden retirement, China and Russia's bomber patrols, Afghan allies left behind, and below-the-radar moves in Ukraine, Georgia, and Miami politics. Joining from Times Square, Stephanie is unplugged and talks candidly about news exhaustion, why tuning out is a dangerous privilege, and how independent and social media are reshaping how people—especially kids—stay informed. She shouts out the Pentagon press corps for refusing to sign away their independence and explains why Trump's attacks on journalists and his control of the military might be the most important story in the world. They dig into parenting in the Trump era, raising boys and a middle-school daughter amid misogyny and online cruelty, why empathy is a superpower, and how small acts—and her family tradition—can change someone's day—and your own. On youth sports, Stephanie unloads on the “insane” monetization of travel teams, showcases, and year-round club schedules that shut out working families while Paul describes what he's seeing as a youth coach watching rec sports get cannibalized. On the economy, she breaks down what Fed cuts really mean, why inflation and a K-shaped recovery are fueling anger, and how both parties are failing people at the grocery store, gas pump, and rent check—while calling out tariffs, farm aid politics, and the illusion of Trump as a populist fighter. They also go global on China's trillion-dollar trade surplus, Russia and Putin's “amazing year,” Trump's Ukraine “peace” timeline, and the risks of shifting U.S. focus away from the Pacific, before hitting Taylor and Travis, Diana Ross headlining New Year's Eve in Times Square at 81, and why Stephanie will never stand for hours in a corral without a bathroom.

The boys are back, and this time Jerome Powell shows up looking like he just stepped off the set of Terminator: Rate Cut Salvation. In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil break down why markets are foaming at the mouth for a policy pivot… while conveniently ignoring every economic signal flashing bright orange. From exploding rate-cut odds to the consumer tapping out like they're on their ninth round of BNPL debt, this one's a full-speed sprint through the chaos the mainstream financial world desperately pretends isn't happening.➡️ Then we take a hard turn into the AI privacy nightmare no one seems ready for, and the kind of tech overreach that makes Skynet look spiritually grounded. You'll hear why the job market looks strong on the surface but hollow underneath, how corporate America keeps skating by on vibes, and why the average investor is still totally unprepared for what's coming. It's sharp, it's funny, it's troubling... in other words, it's The Higher Standard in peak form.
