| 0:00.0 | Well, that was Fed Chair Powell following the decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. |
| 0:04.9 | The chair saying the economy continues to expand at a solid pace that labor market conditions |
| 0:10.4 | have eased. He was noncommittal on another rate cut in December. I want to show you what the |
| 0:16.0 | major averages are doing, pretty much hanging on to those gains. does follow that massive day yesterday nasdaq's been |
| 0:22.5 | the outlier all day up one and a half percent but the s&p and the dow are also winners welcome |
| 0:27.1 | to closing bell i'm scott wapner live here post nine new york stock exchange let's bring in now |
| 0:31.7 | double line capital CEO and cio geoffrey gunlock geoffrey welcome back for our traditional visit |
| 0:38.2 | hey judge good to be here again. |

| 1:18.6 | So he's gotten much more in sync with the bond market by a movement of Fed funds relative to two years |
| 1:25.6 | of 135 basis points of convergence in just basically two meetings. |
| 1:32.3 | So I really think that we probably have one more rate cut coming in December, because that would |
| 1:39.0 | true up the Fed funds rate with exactly where the two-year treasury rate is right now. |
| 1:44.7 | So it is interesting that we've had such a strong performance of the stock market since |
| 1:50.6 | the last Fed meeting, while we've had interest rates rising. |
