The Trading Floor: Why the Fed Won't Be Cutting Interest Rates Anytime Soon


Listen Later

The Fed kept rates on hold - no surprise there. But in this episode, Anthony and Piers dig into the real story: the subtle shifts in language, the rising risk of stagflation, and how Trump’s tariff war is clouding the economic outlook. 


They break down why traders hang on Powell’s every word, how markets react before policy changes, and what conflicting data says about where the US economy is headed. Whether you're trying to make sense of monetary policy or sharpen your market instincts, this is the episode that connects the dots, minus the jargon, with all the context.
