Takeaways

• The FOMC meeting indicated that interest rate cuts may be on the horizon, but the timing and extent of the cuts are uncertain.
• Positive real yields in the bond market offer attractive investment opportunities, especially compared to the volatility of the equity market.
• The current economic outlook is relatively positive, but there are risks to consider, such as potential inflation and the impact of interest rate policy.
• Investors should be cautious and evaluate the risks associated with their investments, considering factors such as inflation, market volatility, and the potential for economic downturns.
