So, what will the Fed do? Are we getting the 0.25% rate cut that many experts predict, or will a 0.50% rate cut come due to further weakening of the economy? The job market is already struggling, and the Fed needs to make a move—fast. The question is: will whatever they do next be enough to stop us from falling into a high-unemployment economy? We’re getting into it in this BiggerNews! We brought in the chief economics correspondent for "The Wall Street Journal," Nick Timiraos, to give us the latest update on the Fed, what could happen in September’s Fed meeting, and what’s in store for rate cuts. Nick agrees that this meeting is more crucial than most and that the decisions made could significantly impact the economy and real estate. How many rate cuts will we get this year? How big will the rate cuts be? And who’s deciding these rate-cut decisions in the first place? Nick knows the Fed better than almost anyone and shares exactly what they’re thinking and where they believe rates are headed in today’s episode.
