Navigating Asset Positioning Amid Federal Rate Cuts

Cutting interest rates does not necessarily boost stock markets, as evidenced by the 2001 experience when significant rate cuts led to a 15% market decline.

The Federal Reserve's potential delay in rate cuts may not favor risk-on assets, indicating a challenging environment for equities and bonds. There's a growing discourse around cryptocurrencies, with some experts suggesting they should position themselves as money-printing resistant assets, akin to gold, rather than being seen purely as risk-on investments.
