The Path To A September Rate Cut (Despite AI Inflation)

The Path to a September Rate Cut (despite AI inflation)
A lot has changed in the past 24 hours. After Thursday's CNBC interview, it seemed obvious (to me) that I needed to write about how there is a real path to a Fed Rate Cut in September. Not only has the market priced in a 75% chance of a hike in September, and 1.25 hikes by the December meeting, most have also taken any chance of a cut off the table.

Apple Wants To Buy Memory From China As Soaring Chip Prices Spark Inflation Shock
Last Thursday, in the aftermath of Apple's biggest one day plunge since Liberation Day, and second biggest single-day drop ever...
.... when the company lost over a quarter trillion dollars in market cap after the company's unprecedented price increase announcement which for some products was as much as 50% as Apple decided to pass on soaring component costs to consumers, following similar moves from other consumer electronics companies....
... and which Apple blamed on "unsustainable" prices by the memory cartel - namely SK Hynix, Samsung, Micron and Sandisk - who have been flooded with unprecedented demand from hyperscalers (freshly funded with hundreds of billions in newly-issued investment grade debt) we predicted that "China's memory makers are waiting by the phone" for a disgruntled Tim Cook to call, demanding bulk, cheaper RAM.
