The market's betting big that the Federal Reserve will hold off on cutting rates well into 2026. Why? Latest economic data shows the job market's still holding strong and people keep spending. That resilience in consumer activity and employment figures is basically keeping the brakes on any rate relief we might've hoped for sooner.

The supply chain is so tight, but consumption is still so strong? Something doesn't seem right.

Just know that the Federal Reserve will have to keep holding steady again. The guys' jobs are still very stable, and consumption can't stop. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'm a bit confused.

The Federal Reserve is going to continue to stubbornly maintain high interest rates. When will this end... Strong consumer data has become a burden for us instead, ironic.

With such strong employment data, how could anyone still be expecting interest rate cuts... It seems we will continue to be tortured by high interest rates until next year.

Wow, it looks like we have to wait a bit longer... With such strong employment data and no decline in consumption, the Federal Reserve wouldn't be in a rush to cut interest rates.
