The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday morning, with Wall Street eagerly awaiting the Fed Dot Plot. Investors now anticipate that the Federal Reserve won’t move to cut interest rates after the March meeting, but still debate the number and timing of future cuts.
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas former president Robert Kaplan joins Yahoo Finance to break down the current economic backdrop and how it impacts the Federal Reserve’s policymaking.
Kaplan elaborates on macroeconomic trends: “The economy remains resilient, however. And the job market remains very strong. There’s been a little bit of increase in labor supply which is helpful to the Fed, and that’s why the unemployment rate ticked up. But the truth is, there’s still very strong demand for labor…The big cross current that I think the Fed is dealing with, and they may or may not want to acknowledge, is fiscal spending.”

This was a really phenomenal interview. Great commentary.
Thanks! Your video calms me down everyday I watch it when the market is pumping! I'm going with your insights. It makes the most sense with where we are at in the cycle. The only thing that would make me think this cycle could be slightly different is the overall increased adoption of crypto since 2019 and all the hype with the BTC/ETH ETF speculation. Could the market stay held up this cycle by the anticipation of ETFs and the overall awareness that a bull run is coming? The surge is speculated to possibly be the beginning of a massive new uptrend, making it a crucial time for investors to pay attention, I've personally benefited from following Evelyn Infurna' trading tactics, amassing 23 bitcoins in a short four weeks period, which speaks volumes about his expertise….
I glad to have an adviser who is excellent in what he's doing , you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach and song your praises on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Andras Bohm!!!!
Deflection on who to blame. Let’s kick the can down the curb to trump because when u have president doing one thing and monetary policy doing another there’s not going to be a resolution

Great interview, crystal clear analysis on a solid neutral stance.
Economy felt better near end of Feb. But has stalled since March. Not sure if it's inflation data or less fiscal spending. But consumers hunkering down again.
I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family>>>
March – June, inflation will decline. Unless Fed cuts sooner. I can already feel the businesses retreating since inflation data came out. Like Pavlovs dogs, expecting the stick of the Fed to whack them down. Which should ensure that Fed can cut by June.
Do it!!
Cut the rate!!
😂 You cant!!!
7% Before 4% 😊
Fed is a great propagandist.
DO IT!!!
CUT .25%
Inflation will absorb it all within 24 hours.
They want you to spend with the idea that the future is going to be better for those who are looking to refinance.
Nope!! 😊
