The Federal Reserve implements interest rate hikes or cuts?


Generally speaking, the Federal Reserve implements interest rate hikes or cuts. Interest rate rises are austerity monetary policies, and interest rate cuts are a loose monetary policy. When the rate hike cycle begins, it indicates that the Federal Reserve is optimistic about the future economic outlook, economic data shows a positive outlook, and market sentiment is optimistic. To avoid excessive economic growth, the Federal Reserve has implemented austerity monetary policy and implemented interest rate hikes. When the interest rate cut cycle begins, it means that the Federal Reserve is bad on the future economic outlook, the economic data shows a bad trend, and the market is pessimistic. To stimulate economic growth, the Federal Reserve has implemented a loose monetary policy and implemented interest rate reductions.

Correlation between the S & P 500 and Federal Reserve interest rates

Historical data from the S & P 500 shows that when the rate hike cycle begins, the stock market continues to rise, and when the rate cut cycle begins, the stock market continues to fall. Therefore, when the Federal Reserve increases interest rates, it is a good time to buy assets, and the Federal Reserve reduces interest rates, it is a good time to sell assets.

As an investor, the Federal Reserve can raise or lower interest rates to determine whether the future economic outlook is better or worse, but it can only judge the long-term trend of the economy. Also, different countries implement interest rate hikes or interest rate cuts, which have different meanings. For example, some countries with excessive inflation implement national interest rate hikes to stabilize the local currency exchange rate, not optimistic about the economic outlook.

In short, the stock market is a reflection of the market economy, and the Federal Reserve ’s implementation of interest rate increases or reductions is a leading indicator of the stock market. It can determine whether the market economy is growing or declining. As an investor, you need to know whether it is in the interest rate increase cycle or the interest rate reduction cycle to judge the long-term trend of the stock market and make correct investment trading decisions.

Investors have begun to switch back to traditional growth stocks

 On Thursday, the stock prices of Cisco, Alphabet, and IBM hit new highs. But more importantly, the previously unpopular speculative growth stocks, including stocks bought by many ARK funds, have now begun to rebound.  How is this going?  Investors' perspective on the market is changing. In the first quarter of this year, mainstream voices in the market believe that the economy will restart strongly, bond yields will rise, and inflation may become a problem later this year. After the end of the first quarter, these expectations were only partially fulfilled.  The U.S. economy has indeed restarted strongly, but bond yields fell in the first quarter instead of rising because investors began to believe:  1) Inflation and supply chain disruption may indeed be "temporary", as the Fed insists;  2) The second and third quarters will be the highest points of stock returns and economic growth.  Alec Young, a chief investment officer of Tactical Alpha, said: “...
