Dean Smith believes the Fed has already telegraphed a 25bps rate cut for its October meeting. However, he thinks the central bank is making a mistake. Dean dives into the latest non-farm payrolls data and examines the slowdown in jobs growth as a reason why the Fed's rate cut won't "do anything" to bring those workers back. In terms of the Fed's dual mandate, he stresses that the focus should remain on inflation and not the labor market. Dean says hedging exposure and reducing duration might be a good strategy to employ, looking at FolioBeyond's RISR ETF as one way to approach the current market landscape.
