FED lets the market slide + CVS is sued by the US Department of Justice
FED cuts interest rates as expected
Nevertheless, the entire stock market is falling. Why did this happen even though the FED cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected?
- It is rather due to what the FED has promised for next year.
- It was also reiterated that no interest rate cuts are planned or promised for next year as a result of Trump's upcoming economic policy.
- This has taken the fuel out of the market and especially stocks that benefit from interest rate cuts.
- The rocket-like rises of recent weeks could therefore come to an end for the time being.
- The FED continues to declare that it is not allowed to hold bitcoins.
