In September, a rate cut is highly likely, as July's employment greatly fell short of expectations, and the economy is in disarray.
What's even more alarming is that the employment figures for May and June have been revised down to mere fractions of their original numbers, indicating that the previous data was completely inaccurate, and may even have been fabricated. It seems that President Trump will have to follow Chairman Powell's lead and cut rates now!
