Time for Global Equities ETFs?
Federal Reserve Interest Rate Cut: On September 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75%-5% in response to cooling inflation and labor market slowdown, joining other global central banks that have also reduced rates.
Impact on Markets and ETFs: The rate cut is expected to stimulate economic activity and affect asset prices worldwide, benefiting commodities like gold and oil, while making emerging markets more attractive due to potentially weaker U.S. dollar conditions; several global equity ETFs have already seen gains following this announcement.
