There's been a lot of buzz about the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut and what it means for the market. While the Fed has hinted at further cuts, the market seems to be anticipating more aggressive moves than the central bank has suggested.
Yesterday, a Fed voter, Neel Kashkari, expressed caution about cutting rates too quickly, aligning more closely with the Fed's official stance. However, the market is still pricing in 75 basis points of additional cuts by year-end, which exceeds the Fed's projected rate path.
What caught the market off guard?
China's central bank surprised the market with a major stimulus package aimed at boosting its economy and property market. This unexpected move sent Chinese stocks soaring and signaled a risk-on sentiment in global markets.
