- Summary: NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (SEPTEMBER 17, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) SPARTAN CAPITAL CHIEF MARKET ECONOMIST, PETER CARDILLO, SAYING: "No, I don't think the economy needs a cut. I think they're doing it just to take precautionary measures and to calm the markets. You know, just... what, 10 days ago, 12 days ago, we were looking at an inverted yield curve, which was suggesting that recession in early 2020 was a possibility. And now the bond market has dialed that back. You look at the 10-year note, we were trading a little above 1.8% last week. Now we're down to 1.8, and that decline was done, was probably due to the attack in Saudi Arabia."
