Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity markets recorded new intra-day and closing highs yesterday amid optimism about an interest rate cut next month. Many investors are bullish enough to expect interest rate cuts at the remaining three central bank meetings this year. They argue that the US Federal Reserve can relax its stance on inflation, rather than worrying about a faltering job market. Two Federal Reserve officials have warned against the euphoria surrounding interest rate cuts. They cite tariff uncertainty as their reason. Celebrating premature interest rate cuts due to weak economic data is a dangerous trade Fundamental Analysis
