A potential wild card heading into 2026: what happens if the Fed Chair actually delivers on rate cuts, but then hesitates to hike again once inflation resurfaces? It's a scenario worth watching. If the central bank becomes too accommodative early on, then gets caught flat-footed when price pressures return, markets could face a serious reckoning. The bond market would likely react first—and that ripple effect could reshape risk sentiment across the board.

Haha, is the Fed causing trouble again? Promised to cut rates but dares not raise them. Who will foot the bill when inflation rebounds?

Does the Fed really make such a basic mistake... one wrong step leads to a series of errors.

The Fed's recent actions are outrageous—cut interest rates first and then dare not raise them? When inflation rises again, us retail investors will have to take the hit.

Haha, Fed has been playing this trick for so many years and still hasn't learned... Cutting interest rates is easy, the key is whether they'll be soft-handed or not.
