CNBC's Jim Cramer explained why the markets fell after the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut and said there will likely be fewer cuts than expected next year. Weak industries like housing and autos are met with rising inflation in food, insurance, healthcare and rent, which require different answers from the Fed, Cramer said.
While some investors will say the Fed's fanning the flames of inflation with this rate cut, others will say that without fanning the embers, the fire will go out, Cramer said. CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday walked investors through the markets' fall after the Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point and indicated that there will likely be fewer cuts than expected next year. 'After listening to Fed Chief Jay Powell this afternoon I think a lot of people got even more baffled,' he said.'Because he seemed to get caught having to fulfill a prediction of the need for a rate cut and that need was no longer self-evident. The data didn't back it up.'Cramer questioned Powell's assertion that the decision was a close call, and suggested that looking for progress on inflation while cutting rates is a bit of an oxymoron. Powell's mixed messages are a big reason behind Wall Street's disappointment with the announcement, Cramer said. He furthered that a major problem making the Fed's job tricky is that there are two economies right now, one that's on fire and the other that's stalled out, which come together in a peculiar way
