Markets show minor losses as Fed’s next steps loom

Reuters

Broad market stocks experienced slight declines during the day, according to Alexander Morris, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of F/M Investments.

He attributed the movements mainly to profit-taking and some concerns over global politics, but noted that the changes were not significant.

Morris added that the VIX index remains low and equities generally continue to show an upward tendency.

Focus on Fed’s Next Moves

Morris also said that the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to implement two more rate cuts this year.

He emphasised that Fed Chair Jay Powell is aiming to achieve a “perfect landing” to maintain market credibility. Morris noted that Powell’s primary objective is to keep inflation under control while restoring confidence in the Fed.
