Sam Burns thinks inflation will continue to rise as tariff impacts continue to filter through, and that real spending will slow down. This puts the Fed “in a bind” on interest rates. He thinks the Fed will still cut in September and then say they’ll “wait and watch the data” because other central banks have been cutting interest rates around the world this year. However, he’s not sure if there will be a cut in December. He also points out unevenness within markets, which all-time highs may be disguising.
