What Happens to Markets Next After Rate Cuts and Inflation

Markets moved higher after the latest Federal Reserve meeting. The Fed delivered a widely expected rate cut, yet the committee is clearly divided, with political pressure, inflation risks, and a weakening jobs market all pulling in different directions. In this update, Marcus breaks down what really matters from the Fed meeting and what could move markets next: • Why the latest cut was not as "hawkish" as feared • How political pressure may affect the direction of rates • Why inflation risk may fade as tariff effects roll off • The role of weakening jobs data and what Powell said • Key risks still ahead: delayed CPI + jobs dump, tariff court ruling • What this means for equity markets into Christmas ------ Two ways to invest with Marcus Today: 📈 Get daily insights & stock ideas – start your free trial: https://marcustoday.com.au/trial-sign-up/ 💼 Prefer a managed approach?
