The Money Path: How One Fed Cut, Job Revisions & Neutral Tone Could Shape What's Next
Live on The Money Path, host Todd Schoenberger sits down with José Torres, Senior Economist at Interactive Brokers (IBKR) to parse today’s Federal Reserve decision and what’s ahead.
Highlights include:
- The Fed cuts interest rates by 25 basis points — largely expected — with only one dissenter (Stephen Miran), and expectations for two more cuts by year-end. (Market watchers like Morgan Stanley now expect cuts at all three remaining meetings.)
- August job growth came in weak (around +22,000 jobs), and June was revised to show job losses — a signal that the labor market is cooling. Torres discusses how these data revisions factor into the Fed’s thinking on cuts and accommodation.
- Chair Powell’s upcoming press conference is likely to feature a neutral strategy, balancing assurances of policy independence amidst political pressure, and emphasizing incoming economic data over speculation. (Recent reports confirm Powell explicitly stating there is “no big push for a larger rate cut” beyond 25 bps.)
- Sector implications: real estate and small businesses may need relief; inflation-tariff interplay; what falling rates could mean for growth stocks, interest-sensitive sectors, and long-term rates.
