The Daily Money: When can we expect a rate cut?
Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money, Jerome Powell edition.
Despite intensifying political pressure, the Federal Reserve chair is standing by the central bank's wait-and-see approach to interest rate cuts.
Powell repeated Tuesday that the Fed plans to assess the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs before lowering rates, brushing off mounting pressure from both Trump, his own Fed colleagues, and Republican lawmakers.
When, then, can we expect a rate cut?
Lawmakers seek answers to housing crisis
As the housing crisis deepens across the United States, policymakers are increasingly looking for answers.
On June 24, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan., brought concerns about housing costs to an unlikely venue: the semiannual testimony of Jerome Powell on Capitol Hill.
More than half of the Black women in the counties Tlaib represents have experienced some sort of eviction, she said. Those numbers, she said, are 'horrific.'
But what can the Federal Reserve do about the housing crisis? Answers here.

18 GOP senators vote to raise taxes on the rich to pay for rural hospital fund
Eighteen Republican senators, including former Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), voted to advance an amendment sponsored by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to raise taxes on ultra wealthy income earners to help rural hospitals facing steep Medicaid cuts. The GOP senators voted for a motion to waive a budget point-of-order against Collins's amendment to establish a new $39.6 percent tax bracket for individuals who earn more than $25 million in annual income and married couples who earn more than $50 million annually. The proposal would be used to double the size of the rural hospital relief fund in the GOP megabill from $25 million to $50 million. The procedural motion failed on a lopsided vote of 22 to 78, but the result surprised some Senate insiders. One senior Republican aide expressed shock that so many Republicans voted to raise taxes, even if on the nation's very richest income earners. 'There was a time when Republicans used to have discipline on tax increases. Grover must be pulling his hair out,' the aide said, referring to Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, an anti-tax advocacy group that asks members of Congress to pledge not to raise taxes. 'I guess it's Trump's Republican Party,' the source observed, referring to President Trump's more populist view of economic policy. Trump wrote on social media last month that he would be 'OK' with raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Trump broached the subject again in the Oval Office last month when asked about raising taxes on the very richest individuals to offset tax cuts for middle- and working-class families. 'I would love to do that, frankly,' Trump told reporters. Republican Sens. Shelley Moore Capito ( Bill Cassidy (La.), John Curtis (Utah), Deb Fischer (Neb.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Jon Husted (Ohio), Cindy Hyde-Smith (Miss.), John Kennedy (La.), Roger Marshall (Kan.), McConnell, Jerry Moran (Kan.), Bernie Moreno (Ohio), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Roger Wicker (Miss.) and Todd Young (Ind.) voted to support the measure. Collins also voted to waive the point-of-order objection against her proposal.

Big Wall Street call flips script on S&P 500 'Goldilocks' rally
Big Wall Street call flips script on S&P 500 'Goldilocks' rally originally appeared on TheStreet. Markets notched record highs last week, but the overall economy seems mostly fuzzy. The S&P 500 notched fresh all-time highs, and investors are betting big on rate cuts being around the corner. Naturally, everyone loves a good rate cut, but what if the cuts come for all the wrong reasons? 💵💰💰💵 Recent data points to a slowdown in the housing market, sticky inflation, and job growth that's losing steam. With all that, one major analyst says the Fed's cuts might not result in the usual "Goldilocks" scenario for the stock market. The S&P 500 posted record highs last week, but the underlying economy looks anything but steady. Since early 2025, the job market has shown clear signs of a cool-off, even as inflation remains stubborn. In May, nonfarm payrolls added only 130,000 jobs, down substantially from April's 177,000 tally. Also, March-April numbers were quietly revised lower by 95,000 a weekly basis, things get even trickier. For the week ending June 21, initial claims fell by 10,000 to 236,000, but continuing claims climbed to 1.974 million, the highest since late 2021. Simultaneously, core inflation isn't playing along this time. May's core PCE, the Fed's preferred measure, is up 0.2% month-over-month while hitting 2.7% year-over-year, up from 2.5% in April. The reading highlights that price pressures are still well and truly alive, even as job growth slows down. For obvious reasons, investors love a Fed rate cut. Cheaper borrowing facilitates share buybacks, greater spending, and more liquidity sloshing around, which in turn pushes stocks higher. More on the S&P 500: Rare event could derail S&P 500 record-setting rally Veteran Wall Street firm makes surprise call on tech stocks Gemini, ChatGPT may lose the AI war to deep-pocketed rival In a true Goldilocks setup, you have steady growth and cooling inflation. However, this time things look a lot different. Market strategists are of the opinion that the Fed's next cuts won't come from strength, but from economic stagnation and sticky inflation. That awkward mix, with weaker hiring but sticky inflation, is exactly the 'growth-splot' that keeps riskier assets on edge. Investors continue getting impatient over the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, pricing in close to 18 basis points of easing over the past few weeks. Nevertheless, JPMorgan strategists, led by Mislav Matejka, feel that the coming reductions are unlikely to drive the expected market bump. They cite the sluggishness in the economy slowdown and lingering inflationery pressures, instead of a Goldilocks scenario of resilient growth with weak price this rather spotty outlook, Matejka's team believes that any Fed cuts will come from weakness, not strength, with inflation still sticky. That combo usually fails to deliver strong market gains. Since 1980, there's been a pattern where Fed cuts following a pause during shaky growth result in Treasury yields and cause the dollar to drop, instead of fueling a "risk-on" run. JPMorgan identifies a similar split now, with the dollar index potentially hitting fresh lows, 10-year yields dropping, and emerging markets (not Europe) looking best positioned to win. Defensive and high-growth pockets, including areas like staples, health care, utilities, and tech, have historically outperformed in these late-cycle cuts. It's important to note that despite the S&P 500 hitting new highs, its modest 5% gain this year pales next to Europe's 21% surge.

This summer will be decisive for the economy and Wall Street
The coming months will likely see several major events, datasets, progress reports, and deals that will determine the path forward for the economy and financial markets. By the fall, the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs and fiscal policies should be clearer, giving the Federal Reserve more confidence to act. If you followed the seasonal investing advice of 'sell in May and go away,' you may want to reconsider because the outlook for the economy and financial markets will likely be determined in the coming months. Several major events, datasets, progress reports, and deals are due this summer. By fall, the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs and fiscal policies should be clearer, giving the Federal Reserve enough confidence to act on interest rates. Here's a look at the factors that will tip the scales: A key piece could come as soon as this week. Trump has set a July 4 deadline for Congress to pass his so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, which contains his tax cuts and spending priorities. While the House of Representatives passed one version of the legislation and the Senate advanced a separate one, the GOP's narrow majorities in both chambers make the timing of the eventual package and its exact provisions less certain. All the congressional logrolling that's needed could push the timeline past July 4, especially now that a few Republicans have announced they will not seek reelection, making them less susceptible to Trump's arm-twisting. Wall Street expects the tax cuts to juice the economy and the stock market, while the bond market will watch the bill's impact on U.S. debt. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the Senate's version of the bill will add nearly $3.3 trillion to deficits over a decade. More fiscal sticker shock could send Treasury yields higher and add more pressure on the dollar, which is already down 10% this year, its worst first-half performance in more than 50 years. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has estimated that the U.S. will no longer be able to pay its bills by mid- to late summer, unless the debt ceiling is raised. While he has vowed that the U.S. will never default, it's up to Congress to raise the debt limit so that the Treasury Department can issue fresh bonds to service interest expenses and maturities. The Big Beautiful Bill would increase the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars. In the meantime, the Treasury Department has been using its extraordinary cash management measures to avoid default. Bessent said last week he extended his department's authority to use those extraordinary measures to July 24, in an apparent reminder for Congress to raise the debt ceiling before its typical August recess. Failure to raise the debt limit and prevent a U.S. default would spark a global financial meltdown. Trump administration officials have been saying since 'Liberation Day' in April that major trade deals are imminent. So far, the U.S. has reached agreements with the U.K. and China, while negotiations with other top trade partners continue. Meanwhile, the 90-day pause on Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs will expire on July 9, after which they would spike back to levels that triggered an epic stock market selloff. Bessent has signaled flexibility on that deadline, saying a dozen or so trade deals could be reached by Labor Day. But over the weekend, Trump reiterated his desire to dispense with any further talks and unilaterally set a tariff rate on each country. A sudden return to high tariffs would deliver another jolt to Wall Street, which had been expecting duties to eventually settle at 10% for most countries and 30% for China—manageable levels that could largely be absorbed without too much pain. Tariffs and their impact on inflation will heavily influence the central bank as it weighs whether to trim interest rates. Pricing data so far hasn't revealed a big impact from tariffs, and a few Fed officials have said that's evidence that inflation is tame enough to justify rate cuts. But Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other policymakers have indicated they need at least a few more months of data to be confident that inflation is indeed on the right track. If the upcoming data show that any tariff-related inflation effects are only one-offs that aren't raising consumers' inflation expectations over the longer run, then rate cuts could come in the fall. While Trump has demanded the Fed lower rates immediately, he could also make it harder for policymakers to do that. They may more reluctant to cut just to prove to markets that they are independent from political pressure. Re-escalation of tariffs could muddy the inflation picture. The naming of a 'shadow' Fed chair could even stir a revolt on the Federal Open Market Committee. Starting in July, earnings reports for the second quarter will start coming out, giving Wall Street a more fulsome view of how tariffs—and the economic uncertainty they've caused—are affecting profits as well as the outlook for profits. Because companies rushed to stock up on imports earlier in the year to get ahead of tariffs, first-quarter results didn't fully reflect higher rates. But those stockpiles are being exhausted, forcing companies to hike prices on consumers or eat tariff costs and shrink profit margins. Also factoring into earnings will be how much or how little companies plan to invest and hire in an economy that is slowing amid Trump's trade war. The White House's fiscal policies will sway earnings too, as tax cuts, the end of certain tax credits, more spending on defense, and less spending on the social safety net ripple through corporate America and consumers. A tenuous ceasefire has taken hold between Israel, Iran, and the U.S., sending oil prices lower as markets worry less about a sudden supply disruption. But Trump has said he is open to bombing Iran again if it's necessary to cripple Tehran's nuclear program. That's as conflicting reports emerge over how much Iran's capabilities have actually been damaged. Renewed fighting could set off another surge in crude prices, sapping consumers of spending power, reigniting inflation, and further complicating the outlook for Fed rate cuts and the economy.
