Nah.
From Mish Shedlock at Mish Talk:
Fed Panic
The Fed will cut a minimum of 25 basis points on July 31.
The CME Fed fund futures model jumped to 71% Chance of a 50 Basis Point Cut as New York Fed president John Williams said “When you have only so much stimulus at your disposal, it pays to act quickly to lower rates at the first sign of economic distress.”
Williams attempted to downplay that statement with a subsequent and obviously transparent excuse: "This was an academic speech on 20 years of research. It was not about potential policy actions at the upcoming FOMC meeting."
Yeah. Right.
Let's call this for what it really is: Fed panic with a hedge.

I had to read that twice.
- Is the Fed supposed to be worried about S&P 500 earnings?
- Is that part of the Fed model?
