Fed rate cut uncertainty ‘could trigger equity market volatility,’ Schwab Asset Management CEO says

9

The highly anticipated day has arrived, with the Federal Reserve set to announce its decision on interest rates today. Investors will be closely watching the dot plot data to see if the market’s expectations of three rate cuts in 2024 will hold true. Schwab Asset Management CEO and CIO Omar Aguilar joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss US recession forecasts on this anticipation.
Aguilar notes that the high levels of inflation the Fed is trying to reduce require “a very different path.” He highlights that with sticky inflation data still emerging, the Fed is grappling with whether “we need to be more patient,” keeping rates higher for longer or lowering rates and risking a recession.
However, Aguilar emphasizes that the economy currently remains resilient.

  1. Why does no one talk about the thousands of people getting laid off from big companies that are not hitting non farm payroll because they are on severance packages?

  2. Today was another demonstration of the market not caring whether the fed cut or raise rates. The market will still go up regardless. The fed doesn’t drive the market anymore. It’s been like this for multiple times already.

  3. Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general…managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3B'tc to a decent 17B'tc….At the heart of this evolution is mary mcDonald, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
