Since early 2024, the market has been holding onto one narrative: “The rate cut is coming.”
Month after month, CPI prints, labor data, and Fed speakers say otherwise — and yet, SPX keeps pricing in a dovish pivot that never arrives.
This is no longer optimism — it’s dependency.
🧠 The Fed’s dual mandate is not to protect asset prices, but to ensure price stability and employment. With unemployment still historically low and tariffs likely to reignite inflation over the next 4–6 months, there is no rational case for a cut in the near term.
Markets are too desperate, too early.
We’ve been stuck in the “rate cut soon” cycle since Q1 2024 — and that hope trade is long in the tooth.
📉 The longer the Fed waits, the harder the unwind.
