50 bps! Ready to Embrace Rally or Sell the News?

On September 18, 2024, the Fed cut rates by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5%. This is the first cut since March 2022. The Fed forecasts a total of 100 basis points in cuts for 2024 and another 100 basis points in 2025. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 both hit record highs during the trading session but soon gave back some gains. All three major indices turned negative, with the Dow down 0.25%, the Nasdaq down 0.31%, and the S&P 500 down 0.29%. ---------------- Will 50bps continue to boost market higher or time to sell the fact?

Money will inevitably flow from low risk assets to higher risk assets. Interesting to see how far equities and crypto can go before the eventual pullback happens, if any.

The recent Fed interest rate cut is likely to benefit sectors that are sensitive to borrowing costs and consumer spending. Specifically, cyclical sectors like consumer discretionary, utilities, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to perform well after a rate cut. Lower interest rates reduce borrowing costs, encouraging both corporate expansion and consumer spending, especially on big-ticket items such as cars and electronics. Here are three stock recommendations from sectors likely to benefit: 1. Amazon (AMZN) - As a major player in consumer discretionary, Amazon benefits from increased consumer spending when borrowing costs decrease. 2. Tesla (TSLA) - Tesla, part of both the consumer discretionary and industrial sectors, may see more demand for its vehicles as financing becom

Fed Rate Cut: How Wall Street Interprets the Development

The US Federal Reserve (US Fed) has cut the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points (bps), from 5.25 - 5.5% earlier to 4.75 - 5.00% on Wednesday, the first time since 2020. The cut comes amid concerns regarding the job market in the US, and ahead of the US presidential elections in November 2024.Policymakers, according to reports, expect the Fed's benchmark to fall another half of a percentage point by 2024-end, and another one per cent in 2025.After this move, analysts expect the US central bank to now go slow on its rate cutting trajectory, remain data dependent, and also watch the outcome of the US presidential polls on November 5.U.S. futures jumped on Thursday. Dow Futures rose nearly 1%, Nasdaq 100 futures rose nearly 2%, S&P 500 futures rose more than 1%.The l

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$   I did not like the 50bps. But the narrative was pushed really well by Powell. He basically switched gears to we did not do anything in July so 50bps is good start for Sept. $TSLA $FSLR $ENPH should do well in this environment. They also talked about a cut of 150bps more coming up. Without a timeframe and the speed at which they will cut. I think I will still stick to 2026 recession irrespective of who the President is. Will the price be any lower than today with that correction then? I doubt it!

Amazon Could Benefit from Rate Cuts

The Fed is expected to continue its rate cut cycle until 2026, which will bring multiple benefits to consumers and businesses. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ could be a significant beneficiary of this trend, potentially continuing its long-term upward trajectory.A Look Back at Q2 EarningsWhen Amazon reported its second-quarter earnings in early August, the results were a mixed bag. While revenue grew slightly over 10% year-over-year, it missed the mark by nearly $800 million. The guidance for the current quarter was also somewhat tepid.However, the company's net income nearly doubled to about $13.5 billion, driven partly by a surge in cash flow. As of June 30, Amazon's net cash position exceeded $26 billion. With over $89 billion in cash and securities, and

Fed cuts rates by 50bp. What’s next?

Summary: The FOMC cuts rates by 50 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%. The latest Fed Dot Plot suggests there will be another 2 cuts (50bp) by 2024, followed by 4 more cuts (100bp) in 2025. However, traders are expecting more cuts (3 additional cuts by 2024, followed by 6 more in 2025), according to CME FedWatch.  Conclusion: The Fed’s significant rate cut of 50bp shows its determination to stay ahead of the curve and prevent a hard landing. Market participants now believe the U.S. economy is headed for a soft landing at worst. While it looks like stocks are poised to rally, there’s a possibility that investors have already priced in much of the anticipated 2024 and 2025 rate cuts. Investors should be cautious of the election uncertainties t

Fed’s Half-Point Rate Cut Fuels Optimism for Soft Landing as Global Markets React

Global markets are responding to the Federal Reserve's decision to kick off its rate-cutting cycle with a half-percentage-point reduction, signaling the start of what many hope will be a controlled path toward stabilizing the US economy. Investors are closely watching the central bank’s approach, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautioning that future rate cuts may proceed at a slower pace than some anticipated. As the dust settles, the Treasury market, global equities, and major currencies have reacted in various ways to the Fed's move, while focus shifts to the upcoming decisions from the Bank of England (BOE) and Bank of Japan (BOJ).

There's a gaming software stock that's up 203% year-to-date, but the market thinks its growth story isn't over yet.Shares of the company fell to over $10 at the beginning of 2023 due to the high interest rate environment that has closed in on the suppressed advertising and gaming market, and have now risen to over $120.As the Federal Reserve has officially begun a rate-cutting cycle, this type of strong-performing growth stock could draw further coveted funding.It’s $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$.Advertising, gaming, and entertainment peers of tech giants like $Trade Desk Inc.(TTD)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$

everything goes up. but big tech already went up a lot, so other stuff might go up more e.g. 10yr bond etf TLT, REITS, small caps who are sensitive to interest rates due to higher leverage. I'm not doing anything. already bought all these before the Fed reduced rates. now sit back and reap the rewards.

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ I don't agree the FED should have lowered by 50 bps because, like traders of long term bonds, I believe this move will reignite inflation. However, I have enough sense too look at the thinking on why go 50. I have to wonder if the FED is truly worried the jobs numbers are so doctored that true unemployment is closer to 5% than anyone can imagine.Won't change my holding in NVDA but it makes me more sanguine on the SP price going into late 2024.[Lovely][Lovely][Lovely]

Buy the rumour sell the news. I believe this was factored in as S&P already near highs. Now that the speculation is over I believe there will be downward movement in the short term. In long term money supply will become cheaper and companies may take on more debt but that is another story.
