BY LLOYD KHANER September’s good news, a 50-basis-point cut in the fed funds rate, came with the bad news that we needed it. The market will continue to dissect every domestic data point until the next Fed meeting in hopes of another rate cut. After spiking to fear levels, the Wall drops a few worries as the credit freeze begins to thaw.
