Deep dives
The Fed's Policy Pivot
The Federal Reserve has shifted its approach from combating inflation to supporting labor markets by cutting interest rates, even in a seemingly robust economy. This pivot signals a broader trend among global central banks moving toward easing monetary policy. Unlike past easing cycles, this one is occurring in a strong economic climate characterized by growth rates around three to three and a half percent and all-time high global stock values. This unorthodox approach raises concerns about potential economic overheating as a credit-driven cycle may replace the current income-driven dynamics.
