US stocks fall sharply and Dow tumbles 1,100 points after the Fed hints at just 2 rate cuts for 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks tumbled to one of their worst days of the year after the Federal Reserve hinted Wednesday it may deliver fewer shots of adrenaline for the U.S. economy in 2025 than earlier thought.

The S&P 500 fell 2.9%, just shy of its biggest loss for the year, to pull further from its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,123 points, or 2.6%, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 3.6%.

The Fed said Wednesday it’s cutting its main interest rate for a third time this year, continuing the sharp turnaround begun in September when it started lowering rates from a two-decade high to support the job market. Wall Street loves easier interest rates, but that cut was already widely expected.

The bigger question centers on how much more the Fed will cut next year. A lot is riding on it, particularly after expectations for a series of cuts in 2025 helped the U.S. stock market set an all-time high 57 times so far in 2024.

Fed must be factoring in that Trump tariff policies in 2025 would make inflation worse.

Trump, if he gets his way, will do worse to the US economy. He wants to weaken the US in the face of our enemies.

My money is invested in a couple of funds. No doubt some of those diversified interests are in foreign markets, but the US market is still the strongest one.

Look at the trends: If the US market takes a dive, so do all the others. Conversely, if a major foreign market takes a dive, so does the US market.

Let go of nationalism and realize we're a global market. Global markets are a path to global peace.

Old man, there's no reason to lie, I said
Old man, everyone knows you don't fly, I said
Old man, your whole life has been a failure
There's no need for stolen valor

You were in high school ROTC
Now you hate the world for laughing at you
You run your big mouth until it gets slapped down
Then you run crying to Damo
You were in high school ROTC
