THE NEXT FED MOVE - A CUT?

As anticipated, the Fed increased the Fed Funds rate by 25 bps on Wednesday. During the presser, J-Pow noted:

“Real rates are 2%, which are meaningfully above what most people would consider restrictive. Policy is tight.”

“A particular focus going forward is what’s happening with credit tightening and what effect is that having on lending.”

Market Reaction

Rates are down across the curve. The current odds of a hike on June 14th are just 16%. The September meeting has a 75% probability of a cut.

The jobs report arrives on Friday, which will be telling since the Fed has so far been unable to knock people off their W-2’s.

CONGRATS TO LANCE

NEW IOS TOOL: ZONINGSCOUT.COM

AI will impact every industry. Starting with the mundane, the routine, and the tedious processes we all dread. Searching muni-code to determine local zoning and permitted uses is one of those boring tasks. We fixed that by creating an AI-enabled zoning search bot called zoningscout.com.

How does it work?

Simple. Input your city, general land use, and the permitted use you want to verify (truck parking, outdoor storage, etc). In the background, the application interfaces with OpenAI to produce details of the exact zoning code you are seeking, with direct links to the zoning-code for your verification. Give it a try now:

How much does it cost?
