Political futures betting trends this week favor stability-oriented candidates, leading to narrowed credit spreads. Equity market risk models show reduced probability of extreme downside events in core economic sectors. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said on Thursday that new data from his staff indicates the labor market remains stable. “I think it indicates some steadiness in the labor market, and I think the underlying economy is still growing pretty solidly,” Goolsbee said. He reiterated that rates could be lowered “a fair amount” if policymakers gain confidence that inflation is moving back toward the Fed’s 2% target. Also, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said she will approach further rate cuts with caution as inflation risks continue to outweigh the threat of higher unemployment. “My forecast has a little bit slower of a normalization of the policy path in order to make sure we get all the way to 2%. So it will take some time,” Logan said. Absolutely, you can trade on international political events through various political trading sites.
