Fed’s Rate Cut Helps Candidate Harris but Will Hurt President Harris (or Trump)

“Many investors, businesses, and consumers cheered the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut since March of 2020. … A drop in borrowing costs following the Fed’s rate reduction can help make people more optimistic about the general economy and their own financial situation. The uptick in consumer sentiment could help Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris who has lagged behind Republican nominee former President Donald Trump on the matter of which candidate is seen as better on economic issues. … The Fed is between a rock and a hard place. If it does not lower rates, there is concern that unemployment will increase as the economy falls into a recession. On the other hand, keeping rates low runs the risk of hyperinflation and a collapse of the dollar’s value.” (09/30/24)
