Fed Rate Cuts: What You Need to Know 💸📉

In this video, we discuss the recent decision by the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points (0.5%), a more aggressive move than some may have expected. This shift marks a significant step toward stimulating economic growth and promoting employment while inflation cools. Here’s a quick breakdown of what this means:
Key Points:
Fed’s Dual Mandate: The Federal Reserve is focusing on promoting maximum employment now that inflation is under control, targeting a 2% inflation rate.
Rate Cut Impact: The reduction in rates means easier access to capital for businesses and consumers, which can boost the economy, improve employment numbers, and support small-cap stocks.
Stocks & Rate Cuts: Historically, rate cuts have led to positive stock market returns, with an average of 70%+ gains across 3, 6, and 12-month periods following cuts.
Bonds & Housing: Lower interest rates typically raise bond prices and can potentially ease mortgage rates, although housing prices might adjust upward.
Future Expectations: More rate cuts are expected over the coming year, potentially reducing rates by another 50 basis points.
💡 Conclusion: While short-term market reactions can be volatile, the long-term impact of rate cuts tends to support economic growth. Stay informed and focus on long-term strategies.
