2. Rate cut

Sep 5

Was a September rate cut (now 100% of the experts are expecting one) already priced in and the economic data frightening investors more?

Since yesterday, the traders' expectation of a HALF POINT rate cut has increased from 0% to 10.2%

Before the 9/17 Fed rate decision, there will still be the producer price index, the consumer price index, consumer sentiment, and retail sales reports coming out, so things can change

At the moment, S&P 500 off 0.40% from yesterday's close.
