I answered that question previously. You keep using the word mandate like it’s a law. Their goal is stable prices, there is no law for 2%, it’s a number they picked long ago. The other half of their job is employment which looks pretty bad.

There is nothing they can do to get to 2% without sacrificing the economy and jobs. Inflation stuck around 3 and not getting worse so they have to focus on jobs.

I said all that before, and it’s one of the reasons I keep trying to save people from their incorrect bear mindset.

Exactly as I have been saying all along. I told everyone inflation wasn’t bad and the Fed would cut. So obviously everyone should be long equities buying the dips. Oh well, I guess all the bears with tds here are simply incapable of learning.
