Ep. 228 - Why The Fed's 2025 Forecast Is Their Biggest Head Fake Yet

Will Fed Rate Cuts Trigger a Historic Housing Market Boom in 2025?   In episode 228, Quinton Harris challenges the Federal Reserve's recent announcement of only two rate cuts planned for 2025. Drawing from extensive retail closure data, unemployment statistics, and labor market indicators, Harris presents compelling evidence that suggests the Fed's projection is likely a deliberate misdirection, with far more rate cuts potentially on the horizon.   The episode dissects what Harris calls "the rolling recession" phenomenon, highlighting the closure of over 5,000 retail stores including major chains like Macy's, CVS, and Walgreens. Harris meticulously connects these closures to broader employment trends, including the troubling statistic that it now takes an average of 10.5 weeks to find a new job - the highest level since 2021. He also explores the potential return of quantitative easing and its implications for the 2025 housing market.   [00:00] - Introduction and New Year Outlook [00:41] - Federal Reserve's Rate Cut Announcement [05:34] - Labor Market Analysis and Store Closures [08:02] - Dot Plot Analysis and Market Projections [11:28] - Job Report Analysis and Unemployment Trends [14:51] - Duration of Unemployment Statistics and Future Outlook   Key Quotes:   "I don't think we have a strong of an economy going into 2025 as the Federal Reserve wants to portray" - Quinton Harris   ______________________   Listen to episode 227 here: https://www.whatisyour1more.com/podcasts/what-s-your-1-more/episodes/2148939965   Connect with us: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsyour1more  Twitter: https://twitter.com/whatsyour1more  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatsyour1more  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/37zPGiz...    LoanPeople:  www.loanpeoplejax.com   Please subscribe, like, and leave a comment to let us know you want to keep the content coming!
