The FED Says “Wait and See” – Here’s What I Think

Markets feel broken and disconnected – they have for a long time now. Today just put a fine point on it.

The Fed came, they saw… they did absolutely nothing. No rate cut, no real direction, just wait and see.

Yet despite that, while J-Po was spinning his nothingburger, the S&P 500s floated higher with painfully thin liquidity.
