If a recession occurs, US stocks have averaged a 4% decline in the 12 months following the first rate cut. However, if no recession occurs, stocks have risen by 18%. This highlights the importance of macroeconomic scenarios following the rate cut.

Anticipating the market volatility on the upcoming rate cuts. Many S-Reits are already bullish and the S-Reits or related ETF are close to or at their one year high. However, even if this coming rate cut is 50 bps, the rate is still rather high. Financing that are locked previously may still be at the high rate. A better outlook is a more definitive “rate cut” package for the upcoming months or year. However, with the global uncertainties in middle east and eastern Europe, the inflation may shoot up and the potential rate cuts may stop short. $NikkoAM-STC Asia REIT(CFA.SI)$  $LION-PHILLIP S-REIT(CLR.SI)$ 

$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$  While everyone is focused on hot stocks like $NVDA $TSLA $GOOGL $PLTR $DJT $BTC (I was one of that idiot to swing trade these. They can go much higher LT) If i have itchy hand, just do least risks sell put to gain small profit. I am primarily focused on $BRK.B. Less price swing & less crowded play normally wins long term. Rate cuts, no cuts or recession. I have almost zero worries. Hope its the right mindset for you. Sleep well. Gain well. 

We are currently at neutral level. It’s gonna be exciting to see which way it’s gonna swing tomorrow.$S&P 500(.SPX)$

Big-Tech’s PerformanceThis week's market was, in four words, a "comeback".After last week's jobs report, the entire market began to expect the first rate cut and priced in a different "recession or no recession".Risky and safe-haven assets took turns in the flow of funds, and as a result, volatility rose in the market.But this week's strength in tech stocks, such as Tesla's FSD expectation boost, Apple's launch superstar, and NVIDIA's Jen-Hsun Huang reiterating the market's strong demand for AI in his talk, have all rekindled investor sentiment towards tech companies.The market is now implying that the Fed, by December, will cut rates by 100 basis points, and by June next year by more than 200 basis points to around the 3% level.By the close of trading on September 12, big tech companies w

Michele Bullock, The RBA governor As the U.S. Federal Reserve moves closer to cutting interest rates, Australian borrowers might wonder what this means for them. Historically, economic moves in the U.S. tend to ripple across the globe, influencing policies in nations like Australia. While U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell signals rate cuts aimed at easing inflation and stimulating the economy, Australians hoping for similar relief might be disappointed. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), led by Governor Michele Bullock, has made it clear that rate cuts are unlikely in the near future. The Global Trend of Rate Cuts The U.S. is poised to join other major economies, including the UK, Canada, China, and New Zealand, in reducing interest rates. These cuts reflect a global trend toward easing mone

Overview:  As the Federal Reserve's highly anticipated September 17-18 meeting approaches, the global market holds its breath. With an 87% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut, investors are eager to know how this move will impact their portfolios. A Fed rate cut could bring short-term relief to markets, potentially fueling growth, but it’s a delicate balance, especially with lingering economic uncertainty.

Overview: The U.S. Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting is highly anticipated as it may decide on a rate cut, which could have global ripple effects, including in Singapore. The possibility of lowering interest rates stems from concerns over the U.S. economic outlook. High interest rates have stifled consumption and borrowing, slowing economic growth. A rate cut would impact global financial markets, including inflation control and economic activity, making it critical for Singaporeans to understand the potential implications. Impact on Inflation Control The Fed has been raising rates to tame inflation, which hit 9% at one point, aiming to bring it down to a target of around 2%. However, despite its efforts, inflation has remained above target. As a result, the Fed's high rates have stifled
