DJIA vs Oscillators

The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 0.50% and their preferred measure of inflation, PCE, came in at 2.2% (but 2.7% if you ignore food and energy inflation.)

Many are excited by this news thinking the Fed has inflation heading back to 2.0%, but... note that core inflation is not dropping and has actually risen to its May 2024 level after being lower in June and July.
