The Federal Reserve’s recent half-point rate cut signals a strong push to avoid a recession as inflation cools off. But with so many unanswered questions—like how fast the Fed will act and what the ideal rate looks like—investors are left wondering: Where does the market go from here?
Fed Chair Jerome Powell aims to balance the economy without tipping it into a downturn, but the path forward remains uncertain. On Wall Street, markets have reacted positively, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hitting new highs after the cut. Meanwhile, the Bank of England is holding steady after its first rate cut since 2020.
As the global economic landscape shifts, it’s more important than ever to stay informed and make smart trading decisions.
