If interest rates are not significantly cut in 2025, there's a high probability of President Trump appointing a Fed member in 2026 who will favor aggressive rate cuts.
"So, if the current Federal Reserve Bank administration doesn't cut interest rates very much in 2025, there's a very good chance that President Trump will bring somebody into the Federal Reserve Bank in 2026 who will be more likely to cut interest rates."

Wall Street anticipates that a job market slowdown will prompt the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to stimulate the economy.
"So, the people on Wall Street are saying, hm, if we're starting to see a slowdown in the job market, that's more ammunition for the Federal Reserve Bank to say, that's bad for the economy. We need to stimulate the economy. How do we stimulate? Let's cut interest rates."

Business uncertainty, particularly due to tariffs, leads to reduced investment in facilities, stores, and R&D, resulting in fewer job opportunities, not due to lack of demand, but due to businesses holding onto cash.
"The reason why that matters is because if a business decides not to invest money into opening a facility to opening a store to opening some research and development that means that people are not getting jobs not because the opportunity is not there but because the business is concerned about uncertainty so they wanted to hold on to that cash."

The economy is currently not shrinking and spending is not contracting, meaning a recession has not yet occurred, but the possibility exists if these trends continue.
"Are we going to continue seeing an economic slowdown into a negative level where the economy is shrinking? Are we going to see spending go into a negative level where spending is contracting? If so, that would lead us into a recession, but we haven't seen that happen just yet."

In 2025, significant amounts of business debt taken out at near-zero interest rates during the pandemic are now maturing and will be subject to much higher interest rates.
"Well, here we are now in 2025 and a lot of the debt is now starting to come due, which means businesses that borrowed huge sums of money at essentially 0% interest rates are now starting to see those debts come due, meaning readjust at a much higher interest rate."
Business Debt

The job market is becoming more challenging. Employers are shifting focus to profitability, efficiency, and productivity, as they can no longer afford to offer excessive compensation and perks.
"It is going to be more difficult. So, understand that shift. Employers are now realizing that they need to be more profitable. They just can't keep offering free money to everybody. Companies are getting more lean. They have to be more efficient and they're going to need more productivity. Period."
