As expected, the Federal Reserve cut its policy rate on Sept. 17 by a quarter of a percentage point. Officials had signaled the move in advance and Chair Jerome Powell explained the reasoning well enough.
My reasons are simple. The debt pile is unfathomably massive, and it’s accelerating. Fiscal imbalances are widening, and monetary policy is being constrained. The Fed can’t raise rates aggressively without bankrupting the government, but it also can’t make deep cuts without tanking the dollar.

Some Wall Street pundits believe that the recent Fed rate cut makes its policy too accommodative, and they also argue that the Fed is creating a “Goldilocks” scenario for the stock market.

Many advisors avoid allocating to inflation-protecting equities, fearing the age-old rule that protection comes at a price.
