Federal Reserve's Rate Cuts Impact
The Federal Reserve recently initiated a rate-cutting cycle for the first time since March 2020, lowering the Fed funds rate by 50 basis points. This decision follows an aggressive series of 11 rate hikes since March 2022, raising concerns about a potential recession, despite current resilience in the economy. Analysts are divided on whether these cuts will effectively stimulate growth; some argue that substantial rate reductions are necessary for a significant impact on household finances. The central banks’ coordinated efforts to cut rates globally suggest improved liquidity conditions, which historically benefit asset classes like Bitcoin.
