When Will the Fed Cut Interest Rates?

Serge has found that the number one thing on institutional investors’ radar is when the Federal Reserve will start to cut rates. This is almost unprecedented as usually the top concern is about stocks. Serge believes that the Federal Reserve will cut rates soon, as we will see a real recession soon. Equities, particularly tech stocks, have recently rallied strongly and tend to perform well in the long game. When interest rates are lowered from a higher rate and a recession is looming, legit tech stocks tend to get a bounce. However, when rates go from ultra-low to almost 5%, the shock is real and comes in waves. As the economy worsens, interest rates will lower. The market is going to front run the Fed, which does not control the Treasury market. The first rate cut is expected to happen sometime between this summer and the end of the year. The Fed often reacts more quickly to save the economy in terms of it getting worse than they would in a tightening cycle. Interest rates peaked in early March of this year, and it is expected that the first cut will happen 3-6 months from now. Until then, Serge believes Bonds are still the way to go when investing.
