🌪️ The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points. What do presidential candidates think?
The Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut early this morning, the first rate cut since 2022. This decision has caused widespread discussion and different interpretations in the financial market.
Trump's point of view: Former US President Trump said that if the Fed's actions are not politically motivated, then this large interest rate cut may mean that the economic situation is more severe than the public knows. He believes that the 50 basis point interest rate cut is a strong signal that the economy may be facing major challenges.
Harris's view: Contrary to Trump's concerns, US Vice President Harris previously believed that this rate cut is positive news for ordinary Americans and may bring some economic relief.
🗣️ Investment market view:
In the heated discussion about this interest rate cut, we can see two very different views in the investment market.
On the one hand, there is a view that this rate cut is a clear sign of economic weakness and that economic activity needs to be stimulated by reducing borrowing costs. This may lead consumers and businesses to reduce spending and investment because the future economic outlook is uncertain. At the same time, this may also trigger market concerns about economic recession and affect investor confidence.
On the other hand, other views believe that this may be a preventive measure taken to support economic growth and consumer confidence, which can effectively avoid overheating or overcooling of the economy and maintain steady economic growth.
This preventive rate cut may enhance the confidence of consumers and businesses because it shows the Fed's decision to actively manage the economy. In addition, this may also encourage more investment and consumption because borrowing costs are reduced.
