Fed Rate Cut Likely: Quality Bonds and International Equities in Focus

Jason Blackwell shares his insights on the Federal Reserve's potential rate cut. Blackwell believes a 25 basis point cut is more likely than 50 basis points, as the Fed aims to balance both sides of its mandate. He thinks the labor market is softer but not falling out of bed, and expects a recovery due to seasonality and hiring. He suggests investors consider high-quality, short-to-intermediate duration bonds and focus on quality within their equity portfolios, rather than relying on the AI cycle.
