$O Interest rates are finally lowered after 4 years and what does Realty Income do? It drops sharply at first, of course :-D The stock market is a bit sick, isn't it?

Because the stock market is not as simple as you imagine.
It was completely priced in that interest rates would be lowered. However, as 0.25 was expected, the "big" move came as a surprise. Now there is a brief panic because it could mean that there is no soft landing in the USA after all but a hard recession

@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%.

I think it will fall even further in the short term. But that's a good way to buy cheaper :)

@Danilo84 Yes, it will probably rise again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow anyway. It's already recovering....

No. The stock market is just not as "normal" as you would like it to be. That's why experience is so valuable. Because you can hardly learn this complexity from textbooks.
