After the Fed surprising 50bps cut in September meeting, the debate around the roadmap of the Fed rate cut down the raod is heating up.

How frequently the Fed should cut and how much is every cut are the spotlight of the debate. Although Chair Powell repeatedly reiterates that the Fed policy making will depend on the economic data, it is meeting by meeting rather than a preemptive decision and preset path, the economists and investors have been speculating the Fed's next move.

In fact, the economy has shown some signs of weakness, including labor market and consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of U.S. economy and always is the most important driver for the economic growth. Believe or not, the slowdown of consumer spending is definitely hitting the economy, and that is why the Fed makes a bigger move in order to survive the economy.
