US Federal Reserve Open to Another Rate CutThe US Federal Reserve bank is open to another rate cut, according to two Fed policymakers. This comes after a report that showed US services sector has slowed down.
According to Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida, the Fed will “act as appropriate” to maintain a low unemployment rate. It also hopes to sustain a stable level of inflation as well as growth.
This resonates with Chairman Jerome Powell’s language ahead of previous meetings where the bank cut key interest rates.
Clarida described the US consumer and economy as “a good place.” The labor market is very healthy. However, the economy could suffer from slow growth, trade uncertainty, and low inflation.
Traders have increasing expectations of two more interest rate cuts this year form the US Federal Reserve. This is partly due to the recent string of dismal economic data.
This week, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released the non-manufacturing activity index. The reading was the lowest since August 2016.
Apart from that, the week started with an index of US factory activity dropping to its lowest level in more than a decade.
The reports may indicate that weakness in various facets of the economy is spilling over to the consumer. There has been a weakness in business sentiment, business investment, and exports.
This would not be a good signal, as consumer spending accounts for a huge chunk of the $20 trillion US economy.
US Federal Reserve’s Cuts on Interest Rates
interest rates on paper – FinanceBrokerageThe Federal Reserve bank has already slashed rates two times this year. According to Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan, the cuts have decreased the chances of a drastic downturn.
However, the cuts have not eliminated the risks. Kaplan said that he has an “open mind” when it comes to rate-setting. He said he was monitoring any signs of broader economic weakness.
The trade tensions with China, the Brexit fiasco, and faltering German economy all affected US businesses. This compelled the Federal Reserve bank to cut rates twice.
On the flip side, not all policymakers supported the cuts. Last month, several of them wanted to leave the rates as they were, while one thought deeper cuts were necessary.
On the economic front, US household spending remained robust. Jobs growth told the same story. The Fed attributed the momentum to its change in policy stance 10 months ago. They have effectively switched from tight to loose monetary policy.
However, inflation stayed where it was: still below the 2% target of the Fed.
Futures traders for interest rates are pricing in an 88% change of a 25-basis-points cut this October. By the year’s end, they are pricing a fourth rate cut with a slightly more-than-even chance.
If the fourth cut in interest rates happens, the Fed will have reversed all the tightening they did last year.
The upcoming non-farm payroll report this Friday could be crucial to investors as well as the Fed. It would provide the markets more clues about the US economy’s overall health.

*You could either buy shares of this stock & either go LONG or SHORT, from your strategy or could buy call or put options, which control 100 shares of FRT, or total price of $13,381 . These options have a lot of leverage which can be a great thing or very bad, if you do not know what direction stock will be going. Generally, options will have a leverage of 1:10, which means you could control 100 shares with only $140.00 dollars. Their are safe and conservative ways to use options, as everything you do with your MONEY-- need to invest time into understand options. You can profit and have little risk.
Will be looking for long, buy or call options to set up, related to earnings report and next month dividend. Might be a two - three month expiring option. It takes a lot for you to save money, so make your money work for you. The bank with very interest in not the answer, but investing wisely is the answer.
"Greatest eREIT in the world" stable in weekly price, no buyersI saw a Seeking Alpha article touting FRT as the greatest eREIT in the world. Large scale volume and TPO footprint certainly backs up that claim. This thing is just a monster for big funds to own apparently. They keep searching higher for greater value areas.
That search seems to have halted in 2016 for now. It's testing the previous 2015 value area and from the looks of it, it's stable, not attracting more buyers.
Given the market profile (not shown because I don't use Pro Tview (I don't like their profile tools)),
there is an unbalance that may require price to explore down to the previous smaller timeframe value area near 121. I put that TPOC at 121.69.
This coincides with a Fib expansion from the center of the current balance area nicely.
Also, a trendline from behind the 2015 lows.
So I'd be OK with buying FRT after a touch of the naked TPOC at 121.69 and an oscillator Long signal.
That's where I think the shorter timeframe buyers are likely to step in.
From there, maybe it's a 3% yield to farm.
