Is it a "soft landing" or a "decline"? The Federal Reserve arrives at a three-way crossroads.
On September 19th, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates as scheduled, ending the tightening cycle since March 2022. However, the market performance that day was quite mixed, with various assets experiencing significant volatility. Although the Fed had long signaled the start of rate cuts before this interest rate meeting, the direct cut of 50 basis points far exceeded market expectations. Since the 1990s, such a significant initial decrease has only occurred 3 times, each time in a critical moment - the bursting of the internet bubble in 2001, the subprime crisis in 2007, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
