Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Inflation “risks”? Got news for you, inflation is already here. We are in full on stagflation now.
Trump’s tarrifs caused inflation, but Trump wants a rate cut to paper over the economic damage for a little longer.
I bet this is a job preservation maneuver where he's trying to placate Trump to avoid replacement with a Fox News host. If the wrong people get into The Fed's leadership, we could get into depression territory rather quickly. Note that this isn't an endorsment of the current Fed leadership. They have continued the anti-labour policy established since the beginning of the neoliberal era.

This will surely be great for working Americans.
Guess the turnips pressure got to him. It was the last thing holding the economy in a semi working order. This is going to cause us to go into a deep recession.
He hasn’t signed off on anything yet. Analysts seem to be in almost uniform agreement that a cut will come next month, though…
I really hope he raises interest rates just to fuck with everyone. But it's unlikely
For whatever reason I have this thing in my head that September is a notoriously common month for financial shitshows to occur.
But I can't back it up, that might just be me remembering 2008.
