Markets Brace for September Shift - Dale Smothers - #6295

Kerry Lutz and Dale Smothers break down the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold off on interest rate cuts amid global uncertainty. Dale points to unresolved trade deals and escalating geopolitical tensions—especially the situation in Iran—as reasons for the Fed’s caution. With markets widely expecting no action in July, he shares why a potential rate cut in September remains on the table, depending on how conditions evolve. They discuss the inflationary impact of tariffs, the delicate balancing act the Fed is navigating, and predict the S&P 500 will stay within the 5,700 to 6,100 range for now. Both express hope that progress in trade talks with the EU and China could bring much-needed momentum, possibly setting the stage for renewed market growth in the months ahead.
