DeHaven Becker thinks the Fed will “save the day again” with a 25-basis-point rate cut in September and another before the end of the year. He thinks corporate earnings are benefitting from a consumer that is “still ok, despite the noise.” He says the economy has softened “a little bit” but isn’t concerned about recession. “Remember, we don’t need things to be great…we just need them to be good enough.” He expects the market to be “slow and steady” upwards into the end of the year, and would treat pullbacks as a buying opportunity.
