Exactly what informed people knew would happen. Every rate cut until now was a mistake and every future rate cut will also be a mistake. Fed is underestimating the volume of shit they are in with inflation.

Rates will continue going higher as inflation continues to be a problem that the debt market understands, but the Fed and their approvers clearly don't. And no, it's not because of the booming economy, because data keeps coming worse and worse.

Weak currency is causing all the problems.

I mean, what were people expecting would happen when the Fed cut rates two days ago? So, they keep destroying the USD and yet people think that'll fix high prices and the rest of the problems?

FOLKS! Weak currency is the damn problem. Are you starting to understand right now? Finally?

Yes, the Fed should hike rates. Otherwise, already existing problems will become ever worse.

I am new here, hoping for more understanding of fundamentals, have any ideas where to start from
Yes. Gregory Mannarino, Peter Schiff, Maneco64, Rafi Farber. You can find them all on youtube. You won't need more than that. Watch some documentary about the money (find a good one) and you're good to go. You'll come back more informed than 99% of the people on this forum. If you prefer to read, go and buy trends journal from Gerald Celente. Best source of information about pretty much everything, every market, geopolitics, politics... you name it, it's there. Thank me by learning! The more educated people we have, the better.
