ALL rate cut cycles that began with a 50 bps rate cut came during a crisis:
1. 2001, during the Dot-com bubble
2. 2007, during the Financial Crisis
The Fed has sided with 25 basis point rate cuts at the start of every rate cut cycle, UNLESS the economy was in a major crisis. pic.twitter.com/NVVeNkDWXN

They wouldn't cut this much if economy wasn't already in trouble. In fact, they would have kept it steady bc inflation is still not under control.

Question Paraphrased: In July you said you weren't doing 50 bps, what changed?
Powell: We made decision on balance of risks and incoming data. We concluded it was the right thing.
