The interest rate cut was the federal funds rate that was cut, meaning the rate banks charge each other over short periods. </p>

<p>In addition to the rate cut, the news of more tariffs on Chinese goods and continued weak US PMI  manufacturing data this past week,</p>

<p>the yield on the 10 yr bond is now below 2%.  This is a really big deal, because we haven't seen rates this low in years, a testament that the economy is slowing down and a recession is right around the corner (I'm targeting May of 2020, but by that time, the Markets might be down 20%-30%).  So while Fed Powell is saying don't expect more rate cuts, he won't have a choice but to continue to cutting rates. </p>

<p>  This post is my personal opinion. I’m not a financial advisor, this isn't financial advise. Do your own research before making investment decisions. </p>
