Thorne: Why is Fed Using ‘Outdated’ BLS Data Models?

“We’ve just got to accept that the BLS is living in the 1950s,” Jim Thorne exclaims, making the case to disregard the jobs reports. “Why the heck is the Fed…[anchoring] only off of that?” He thinks the Fed should have been cutting “long ago.” Cuts today take “at least two years” to kick in, so a cut this week may not be the quick fix markets are hoping for. Jim gives his outlook for 4Q and the “easy” opportunities he sees in the market.
