Powell has already pivoted to rate cutting in January 2019 after raising throughout the previous 2 years.
This is how the fed operates, you raise rates until you break something then you pivot, rinse repeat. Nothing much brilliant or fantastical going on here, sorry. I'm not sure when I said there would be no rate increases? I've always said the fed will raise until it breaks something (housing, stocks, bonds, banks, something else I can't even think of) or somehow wins the battle with inflation.
If you want, we can bet on if there will be a rate cut in the next year, if there is then you have to have a Joe Biden avatar for the rest of your time here. If not, vice versa. I'll probably win so think carefully on this 1 (place is a bit of a ghost town now anyway so stakes not too high on this 1, but doubt you want to bet actual money and there would be logistical complications to that)
