Recession fears amid a reported quarter-point Fed rate hike

One commentator says the Fed’s vote was unanimous and argues that the economy is too reliant on the AI trade. Another cautiously compares the financial backdrop to 2007.

TLDR

One post says the Fed unanimously raised rates by 25 basis points—a quarter of a percentage point. Its author criticizes the move, argues the economy depends on the AI trade and predicts both a recession and future rate cuts. A separate post cautiously compares current conditions to 2007, citing global interest-rate spikes, gas prices, debt, wars and what it calls a stock-market bubble. That author worries a Lehman Brothers–style failure could reveal wider problems.

@DonDurrettMid-Week Macro The Fed raised rates today 25 bps on a unanimous vote. Just like Wall Street, they have lost their minds. Wall Street predicted with 90% confidence that they would raise rates. Consensus is that the economy can handle a rate hike, and the most severe current problem is inflation. It was easy for the Fed committee of 12 to follow the Wall Street consensus. Follow the herd, and no one gets hurt. I was shocked that not one voting member dissented. This was American hubris, believing that we have a strong economy. At his press conference, Warsh said the economy was strong. Is he out of his mind? Strong? That’s laughable. The economy is hanging on by a thread from the AI trade. Without that, we are in a recession. A recession is coming, and everyone is in denial. Not only is a recession coming, but the end of America. Yes, it’s that dire, and we are pretending the economy is strong. The non-farm payroll report has been atrocious for at least a year. Small business bankruptcies are up 65% year-on-year. If a professional loses their job, good luck finding a new one. The consumer is broke and can’t afford to put gas in their car. The housing market is frozen. Half of American families can’t pay their bills. And the economy is strong? Lol. We will look back on this Fed vote — after they begin cutting in the near future — and wonder what they were thinking. They bought into the Wall Street narrative that everything is fine because GDP is positive and earnings are high. However, if you take away AI-related stock earnings and the data center build-out, it’s a much different picture for the economy. We are literally praying that AI saves us. It won’t. I doubt we get to year-end before something breaks. In January, I said that 2026 would be the last year of American Greatness. I still believe that. I still think we will retest the 200 DMA on the S&P 500 before November, and that could be the trigger for our downfall. The 100 DMA is 7467, which is close. We could reach it this week. If the 100 DMA does not hold, then look out below. The next battle between gold and the S&P 500 will take place once the 200 DMA is reached. One of these times, gold is going to win. Got Gold?
@LibertyLockPodTake it with a grain of salt but the global interest rate spikes paired with gas prices paired with 40 tn in debt paired with the multiple wars we are losing paired with the insane stock market bubble... I feel like it's 2007 and we are just waiting on our version of Lehman Bros to go bust to see how wide spread the problems truly are.
