Markets are starting to price in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, and as usual, expectations alone are already influencing sentiment.
Rate cuts aren’t just about cheaper borrowing—they often signal a shift in economic priorities. Sometimes it’s confidence that inflation is cooling; other times it’s concern about slowing growth.
🔍 Why this matters:
Lower rates can support risk assets like stocks and crypto
Liquidity expectations often change market behavior before any official decision
A rate cut can be bullish short term, but the reason behind it matters more than the cut itself
⚠️ Key thing to watch
Is the Fed cutting because inflation is under control…
or because the economy needs support?
Those two scenarios lead to very different market outcomes.
💬 Discussion starters:
Do markets usually move more on expectations or actual rate decisions?
Are rate cuts still bullish in today’s macro environment?
Which assets benefit the most if cuts begin?
Interested to hear different viewpoints.
