In the wake of the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to cut interest rates, both the US 30 and Gold have surged to record highs. The US 30 reached an unprecedented level of 41,987.50, while Gold hit a new high of 2,624.80.
The market reaction comes as investors digest the implications of the Fed’s first rate cut since March 2020. Lower interest rates tend to boost equity markets, as borrowing costs decrease and economic conditions become more favorable for business expansion. Similarly, Gold, often seen as a safe haven asset, tends to rise when interest rates fall, as the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets decreases.
These new market highs reflect investor optimism following the Fed’s decision, with many viewing it as a sign of economic stabilization and improved growth prospects.
