Are the Fed’s rate cuts coming faster than we think?

In this episode of What’s Your One More, Quinton Harris breaks down why “jobs over inflation” is the Federal Reserve’s current focus and how key metrics suggest a shift is imminent. Quinton shares his bold forecast of up to six Fed rate cuts this year and dives into the discrepancies in unemployment data, including why seasonal and part-time jobs paint an incomplete picture of economic health. Quinton also sheds light on consumer sentiment and its role in driving the economy, emphasizing how rising part-time work, ghost job postings, and longer durations to secure full-time employment are creating ripple effects across industries. As Quinton puts it, “It’s not just about creating jobs; it’s about creating jobs that last—and right now, that’s not what we’re seeing.”

Will Fed Rate Cuts Trigger a Historic Housing Market Boom in 2025?

In episode 228, Quinton Harris challenges the Federal Reserve's recent announcement of only two rate cuts planned for 2025. Drawing from extensive retail closure data, unemployment statistics, and labor market indicators, Harris presents compelling evidence that suggests the Fed's projection is likely a deliberate misdirection, with far more rate cuts potentially on the horizon.

The episode dissects what Harris calls "the rolling recession" phenomenon, highlighting the closure of over 5,000 retail stores including major chains like Macy's, CVS, and Walgreens. Harris meticulously connects these closures to broader employment trends, including the troubling statistic that it now takes an average of 10.5 weeks to find a new job - the highest level since 2021. He also explores the potential return of quantitative easing and its implications for the 2025 housing market.

What's Behind the Federal Reserve's Next Move?

In episode 224, Quinton Harris takes a stand against misconceptions about his podcast's purpose, emphasizing its educational nature rather than being a lead generation platform. He explains the extensive methodology behind their market forecasts, drawing from multiple reliable data sources including NAR, MLS, MBS Highway, and others, to provide clarity in a landscape often muddied by sensational headlines.
