The Federal Reserve is poised to make a significant move in September 2024 by cutting interest rates. This long-awaited decision could impact your finances. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Why the Cut?
    • The Fed aims to stimulate economic growth and manage inflation. A rate cut can encourage borrowing, spending, and investment.
    • Keep an eye on your savings accounts, CDs, and mortgage rates—they may be affected.
  2. Should You Open a CD?
    • With lower interest rates, Certificates of Deposit (CDs) may offer less attractive returns.
    • Consider other investment options or consult a financial advisor.
  3. Debate Dispute: Trump vs. Harris
    • Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are gearing up for their upcoming debate.
    • Trump prefers live mics, but his team wants them off when it’s not his turn to speak.
  4. Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Trump
    • Former Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Trump in Detroit.
    • She joined him at Arlington National Cemetery to mark the Afghanistan airport bombing’s third anniversary.
    • Harris supports Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, a decision Trump opposes.
  5. Donor Enthusiasm for Harris
    • Kamala Harris’ surprise candidacy has led to a surge in donations.
    • Her campaign raised over $310 million in July, outpacing Trump’s fundraising efforts.
  6. Stay Informed
    • Follow the unpredictable 2024 presidential race closely.
    • Explore the candidates’ key policy issues and make an informed choice.

Remember, these developments could impact your financial decisions and voting choices. Stay informed and be prepared!
