Interest Rates: Fed Funds Rate

On August 17, 2024 it was noted that the 10Yr Note rate dropped from 4.52 to 3.88 without a Fed rate cut. Since that time the Effective Fed Funds Rate was lowered by 0.5% on September 18, 2024. This action is a repeat of the Fed dropping rates on September 18, 2007 . A repeat of 2007 would lead to a select group of stocks making a rapid move upward before peaking in October 2024. To put this into context, seven figure blocks have been crossing the tape since September 18, 2024. This type of trading would be managed by Market Makers. It is expected that Market Makers and computer algorithms will drive retail investors to continue buying on the way up. Watch financial channels promote the fear of missing out.
