Obviously we're talking about institutional rates...
Did you seriously think Trump's plan was to go down to you local branch and have them set the interest rates?
Not literally, but in practice yes. The economy is stalling in a way that institutional lending wouldn't be able to reverse.
They have to force the consumer to spend, because that's what's cracking under pressure.
Do you even look at the economic data? Do you understand what you're talking about?
You are a glutton for punishment 🤣
Have you read the ADP data? The inflation data? It's all going badly. It's looking like stagflation worse than under Biden, all because of natalists.
Confidence in US bonds needed to be higher before the refinancing, and the OBBB killed hopes of a Milei-style financial revolution.
