Title: The Implications of the Fed Not Cutting Interest Rates and Recent Market Movements

In recent financial news, the decision by the Federal Reserve not to cut interest rates has sparked considerable debate among analysts and investors alike. Doug Cohen, managing director at Fiduciary Trust International, expressed his views in Quartz's “Smart Investing” video series, suggesting that the Fed's stance could lead to embarrassment given the market's reaction to hot inflation reports and subsequent expectations. This perspective comes at a time when the stock market, exemplified by the Dow's 470-point plunge, reflects investor unease amid inflation concerns. Furthermore, the CME FedWatch tool has eliminated the possibility of a June Fed rate cut, underscoring the shift in monetary policy expectations. In related financial news, Lamb Weston's stocks experienced a significant drop, falling 25% in a week. This is noteworthy given the company's reported revenue of $1.46 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.20, which fell short of consensus estimates, triggering discussions on whether Lamb Weston stock is now undervalued.
