Market Response to Federal Reserve Actions

The recent fluctuations in the stock market are closely tied to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions. Post-election, stocks initially rose but subsequently retreated as the likelihood of further rate cuts diminished. Investors are now shifting their focus to key economic indicators to gauge the Fed's potential actions, particularly inflation and job growth data. The consensus is that the Fed may not need to implement further cuts, leading to a cautious outlook on market movements in December.
