CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modives and Auto Master Systems (AMS) are teaming up to introduce CheckMy Driver, the Modives advanced insurance verification and monitoring solution, to AMS's dealership management platform.

'CheckMy Driver represents a major step forward, eliminating the hassle of tracking insurance coverage while ensuring dealers stay protected."

If the customer doesn't take corrective action, or the dealer chooses to act quickly, the business can take appropriate risk mitigation steps such as placing collateral protection insurance (CPI), disabling the vehicle, or initiating repossession where applicable.

3 reasons the Fed hasn't cut rates yet this year

Wall Street has priced in a 94.2% probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in September. JPMorgan Asset Management's fixed income portfolio manager, Kelsey Berro, joins Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Allie Canal on Market Domination to explain the three reasons the Fed still hasn't cut rates this year despite macro conditions being comparable to last year's. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination. Wall Street is pricing in a 94% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in September after July CPI came in better than expected, albeit with an increase to the core reading. My next guest agrees with that assessment and says the Fed is likely more worried about a slowdown in the labor market versus an optic and inflation. Joining me now is Kelsey Barro, JP Morgan Asset Management fixed income portfolio manager. So Kelsey, like we just said, you're in that camp of 25 basis point cuts and you say it's a similar environment to one we saw one year ago. Maybe's a little bit different. So set the scene for us. What's similar, what's different, and what are the lessons learned? Right. So if we compare ourselves to September of last year, the Fed was right about to cut 50 basis points and to cut 100 basis points by the end of the year. That brought us from five and 3/8s to four and 3/8s today on the Fed funds rate. Now, where are we? Well, if you just look at the deceleration in payrolls growth in the last three months, it would suggest that the Fed should absolutely be cutting rates again. So the three-month moving average on payroll's growth is at 35,000. The six-month moving average is at 80,000. That's about the same if not weaker than it was when the Fed was looking at cutting 50 basis points. But it is not the same world as it was a year ago. So what is different now? Well, one, the Fed funds rate is 100 basis points lower. So we're already at a less restrictive spot to start with. Second of all, the unemployment rate isn't moving higher. And that's the thing that Chair Powell has been emphasizing, which is that if labor demand is falling, but labor supply is also falling and the unemployment rate stays the same, it's not necessarily going to set off the same alarm bells as it did last year when the unemployment rate was rising from 3.5% to around where we are today, which is 4.2%. And then of course, the other big difference is that while there are mixed signals about how much tariff inflation the US economy is going to have to withstand and consumers are going to have to withstand, how much is going to be passed through, we do know that in the short term, we're not likely to see a lot of further progress towards the Fed's inflation goal of 2%, at least in the short term. And that's the reason why I don't think that a 50 basis point rate cut is on the table, but we do think that the Fed is sensitive to downside risks to growth and inflation is going to deliver that cut in September.

Job market gloom hasn't been this bad since the Great Recession

Americans haven't been this gloomy about the job market since the Great Recession. Why it matters: Fears about joblessness have surged since President Trump unveiled plans to impose steep tariffs on foreign goods. The economy might have hit a soft patch, but it has so far dodged the bleak predictions from a few months ago. Consumers are still bracing for the worst to come. By the numbers: As of early August, that pessimism was in step with that of the 2008 financial crisis. About 62% of consumers believe unemployment will worsen in the year ahead, according to the University of Michigan's latest monthly survey. That's bounced around a little in the last few months, but consistently hung around levels not seen since the Great Recession. What they're saying: The concerns about higher unemployment are paired with worries about an inflation resurgence. "Although CPI inflation has not surged, our data show that consumers are still bracing for an increase in inflation to come," Joanne Hsu, the director of the University of Michigan's consumer survey, wrote in a report. "Moreover, consumers are also concerned that labor markets will weaken." The intrigue: Economic conditions are strikingly different compared to the last time consumers felt this glum. Then: The economy was in the midst of what was the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The stock market was falling off a cliff, unemployment filings soared and the jobless rate would ultimately peak at 10%. Now: The economy is slowing, though fears are worse than the official data suggests so far. The unemployment rate is holding at a historically low 4.2%, as of July. Hiring has stalled, but so have layoffs. There are fewer unemployment filings now than in July 2021, when a record-low share of Americans (14%) said they anticipated higher unemployment in the year ahead.

The 'one' reason this strategist is nervous about the economy

Simplify Asset Management chief strategist Michael Green joins Market Domination Overtime with Josh Lipton to discuss recent economic data and the markets reaction. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime. What would you say, um, you learned this week, Michael? What were your big lessons, your big takeaways? Well, to me, the most interesting part of the week was the fact that we sold off on the, um, CPI or the, I'm sorry, that we rallied on the CPI beat, and then we sold off on the PPI miss very briefly. The irony between those two is that the CPI outperformance was perceived as relatively positive for rate cuts. And then, of course, the PPI miss was very heavily tied into a particular segment of the, of the economy. It was tied to what's called, um, tradeable services in particular portfolio management services. As a portfolio manager, I can assure you I did not raise my prices this week or this past month. What actually did happen is that that index is basically just a proxy for the S&P 500. So the great irony of this past week was we beat on CPI. That causes the, the S&P to rise. The S&P rising causes PPI to miss, which causes momentary distress. That was a fun learning this week. It felt like, Michael, the markets looked at those prints, CPI and PPI, and said, listen, they looked it over and said, there's nothing in these reports that derail the Fed from giving us that cut we expect in September. Is that what you saw? Well, we certainly saw that with the CPI. We saw that pricing back off a little bit with the PPI miss, in particular, as I mentioned the areas and services, etc. Those are areas that are going to pass through to CPI and PCE in the next month. Um, that actually lowers the prospect that we're going to get that giant rate cut, the 50 basis point cut that I think a lot of people had tried to price in. Um, we've already heard, um, Fed, you know, Fed presidents and governors come out and speak and say, we're a little less favorable. Maybe we're going to be a little bit more cautious after the PPI print. I've had some economists on the show, Michael. Let's get your take on this. Who say, listen, stop being so worried about the inflation boogie man. Inflation is going to come, and then it's going to, it's going to, it's going to come, and then it's going to ease. It's going to be transitory. It's not going to be persistent. Stop worrying. What do you make that argument? So I generally fall in that camp, and I, I guess I'm one of the economists that you have on TV that say that sort of thing. But the, the, the simple reality is that the underlying forces in the global economy are actually quite deflationary, not inflationary. Slowing population growth, slowing labor force growth, this means all else equal that we need to make less investments to maintain the capital labor ratio, which is used for productivity gains. All else equal, this suggests that there's less pressure than people want. A year ago, all we heard about is the shortage in housing. Now we're hearing about rising inventories and supplies. Um, we have a very, very bifurcated economy right now. And the one thing that I would say that caught my attention and makes me a little bit nervous is in the inflation reports what we saw is a rapid acceleration and how much the government is paying for things. One of the views on inflation that I happen to subscribe to is ultimately, if the government decides to pay more for stuff, the rest of us are going to have to pay more for stuff. And so I'm a little cautious that we could see a pickup in inflation that's a little bit more durable, but we're just going to have to see how that plays out. Overall, I think we have to be very, very cognizant that slow growth is not particularly inflationary.
