What Happens When the Fed Lowers Interest Rates

If the U.S. economy appears to be weakening, the Federal Reserve, or the Fed, might cut interest rates to drive economic growth. When there’s a Fed rate cut, investors may see changes in the stock market and bond market immediately. Watch to learn the types of investments that could potentially be the most resilient in a low interest rate environment.

Fed lowers a quarter point, market will fall.
Fed lowers a half point, the market falls.
No rate cut, the market will fall.
If the Fed actually raised rates, the market would fall.

Let's go to zero again. It will be fun.

Follow Buffet's lead. Sit on cash now and buy the dip later.

2% = 200bps thats a better option. 😊 raise 200bps

Should I have bought bonds before the interest cuts or still a good time to buy now?

Lower fed rate, less interest from borrowing money, business operation cost reduced, inflation drop, can't wait for more

Remember the historical chart.
We will have a hard dip.. be sure to look up an historical chart that covers fed pivots.
There is not a single time that we did not have a 26 to 58% drop within the first year.

Market's pricing in 0.5%, if it's less the market will sell off. If it' more, then all tech will rise going into the end of the week. Sounds like NVDA calls at $120 are the move.

Our Indian stock market like nifty IT had a huge fall cause of this

The FED realizes it went too far, too long and is now afraid of a recession - already showing up in Europe (car sales !!!!)

How frequently does the Fed cut when stock market already at all time highs?

[stephenbush]

No Rate Cuts! Rates are not high. Prices are too high. Lower rates will make that worse. Rates are normal and in a range where they should be. No good reason to cut rates better than reasons to leave them where they are. Retired people need rates where they are in a low inflation environment. Leave rates where they are, or raise them, and CUT SPENDING. This is a rate cut for the rich, for large business borrowers, and for Wall Street. Shouldn't even be talking about a rate cut. Vast majority of Americans are better off with rates where they are. We don't need just a slowing of inflation; we need DEFLATION to bring prices down so more people can participate in the economy. The government should not intervein to prevent that. We need a recession to correct the markets. They should manage the economy in a way that is best for the broad population that includes the rich. There must be a balance and not all in one direction for the rich or the poor. There must be balance.

!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
