🚨 POWELL JUST SENT THE MARKET A REALITY CHECK 🚨
Jerome Powell made one thing clear:
❌ A December rate cut is NOT guaranteed.
❌ Inflation still isn’t where the Fed wants it.
❌ The economy is entering a “foggy” zone — and the Fed is slowing down, not speeding up.
He said it himself:
“When you’re driving in the fog, you slow down.”
That’s Powell’s warning to every investor betting on aggressive easing.
What this means:
• Rate-cut odds just dropped sharply
• Risk assets may see volatility
• Liquidity could tighten faster than expected
• Markets celebrating early might get caught off-guard
📉 The message behind his calm tone?
Stop assuming the Fed will save the market.
Uncertainty is rising — and Powell isn’t giving any comfort.
📌 Investors should:
✔ Re-check exposure
✔ Keep liquidity strong
✔ Avoid trades priced for guaranteed easing
