PETER CARDILLO, PRIMARY MARKET FINANCIAL EXPERT, SPARTAN FUNDING STOCKS, NEW YORK CITY
“The report basically confirms that core inflation remains in the pipeline. It probably seals a quarter percentage point rate cut from the Fed.”
“Headline inflation was actually low, especially year-over-year, and it’s headed in the right direction, approaching the Fed’s 2% target.”
“I don’t know if it’s a blip, but this report shows core inflation is still a question mark. And that will probably motivate the Fed to lower rates by 25 basis points.”

“That’s a clear green light for the Fed to proceed. The market reaction is probably reflecting that. The Fed was looking for that clear signal. And so, this to me would be a much stronger all clear signal to proceed with the rate cut that they need. The 25 bps cut was baked in. Maybe this increases the probability of 50 basis point cut.”
