Money and Me: The Fed Blinks - What the Rate Cut Means for Your Portfolio in 2026

The Fed has cut rates again - but the real story is the deep divide into what that means for your money next! Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode breaks down one of the most divided FOMC meetings in years. So how should investors read this pause - and what does it mean as we look toward 2026? We examine the potential impact on different types of equities, from cyclicals to defensives, and whether falling rates really support risk assets. Is the AI trade still the engine of market returns, or are cracks beginning to show beneath the surface? Joining the conversation is Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment at Providend, with practical insights on how investors should position their portfolios for the next phase of the cycle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
