Well, I wouldn't call <2% strong.

@MLana It is more than just strong for the fact that interest rates were cut sharply today. Normally, the share price would have to rise sharply because the market was only expecting a 0.25% cut....

@Ayecaramba256 The US Federal Reserve has started the downward turn in interest rates - with an unusually large step. It lowered the key interest rate by half a percentage point to the new range of 4.75 to 5.00 percent. https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/finanzen/fed-leitzins-senkung-100.html
@Dividenden-Sammler Interest rate cut higher than expectedIt was considered a foregone conclusion that the Fed would initiate a turnaround in interest rates. It was unclear how big the interest rate cut would be. Many economists had previously expected a smaller move of a quarter of a percentage point. The cut marks a turning point in interest rate policy, as the Federal Reserve had kept interest rates in the range of 5.25 to 5.50 percent for over a year in the fight against stubbornly high inflation.

@MrCumEx According to CME FedWatch, a 0.5% move was considered likely at around 65% - a 0.25% move was only around 35%.

@Dividenden-Sammler has changed every day. Nevertheless, everyone is now writing that it's a big surprise!
