David Merrell, managing member and founder of TBH Advisors, provided his thoughts on the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates with Kiplinger reporter Dan Burrows. “The Fed continued to hold rates steady today and left little clues to whether rate cuts will start March 20th or possibly May 1st. With inflation falling, economic growth showing resilience, and a stronger than expected labor market, the Fed must balance crimping economic activity by pushing off rate cuts and reigniting inflation by cutting rates too early,” says Merrell.
