Federal Reserve's Rate Cuts and Economic Outlook
The recent 50 basis points rate cut by the Federal Reserve signals its effort to manage inflation while considering the cooling labor market. Despite some economists predicting a more cautious approach, the overall disinflation trend has started to accelerate quicker than anticipated. This environment has been favorable for risk assets as signs emerge of a potential soft landing for the economy. With predictions of growth moderating to around 2% in the upcoming months, strategists see conditions improving for corporate earnings, particularly in non-technology sectors.
