Economist Stephen Moore urged the Federal Reserve to act on interest rates as the market meltdown intensifies."Commodity prices are falling very rapidly right now," he told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on "Varney & Co." Monday. "We’ve moved from a problem with inflation right now to deflation in prices and I think the Fed has to act to stop that.
"I’m not saying we’re facing a recession, but I think it is a frightening time," he stressed. As debates ensue as to what’s driving the selloff, Moore pointed out the "interesting" timing of Kamala Harris rising in the polls and the drop in the markets."I’m not saying this is statistically significant, as Trump has dropped in the polls, as he has over the last 10 days because of this kind of Kamala phenomenon, the market has reacted in a negative way," he explained.
Moore said the reasoning behind the finding is simply because Harris is "really bad for investment.""This is a woman who wants to double the capital gains tax and tax unrealized capital gains, and those kinds of things," he expressed.
