🚨Fed JUST CHANGED The Rules Forever, Stock Market SWUNG $2.9 Trillion In 6 Hrs! [lr8yn3G6lOe]
On Wednesday, July twenty ninth, twenty twenty six, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting, extending the longest pause since the two thousand eight cycle. The vote was nine to three. But the three dissents were not from officials wanting a rate cut. They were from Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari, and Lorie Logan, all voting for a rate hike. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, sitting in his first real meeting after declining to submit dot plot projections in June, delivered a statement that Wall Street immediately noticed was different from anything the Fed had produced in almost forty years. There was no forward guidance. There was no signal about what was coming next. Warsh told markets they were, quote, learning to play the ball, not the referee. In the six hours that followed, the S and P five hundred experienced three separate market cap swings totaling roughly two point nine trillion dollars. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than one thousand points at the intraday low, then closed green on the day.
