Calm inflation reading keeps the door open at Fed for September rate cut

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/calm-inflation-reading-keeps-the-door-open-at-fed-for-september-rate-cut-145428592.html

Looks like inflation is around 2.6% and holding steady/falling slowly.

This is good news for the stock market and could impact elections in November since we'll likely see a rally if rates do get cut in Sept.

This makes sense because it tracks with the M2

I don’t expect rate cuts this year. Fed had to claw their way up to get interest rates to where they are. They aren’t going to reduce them as easily as in the past.
