Good MorningThe FOMC gave the market what it wanted: a 50 basis point rate cut, confirming a shift in economic policy and fundamental conditions expected to lead to a sustained period of growth. However, the S&P 500 could not sustain the immediate surge in price action, confirming that the Fed decision was priced into the market and that a top has been reached for stocks. The takeaway is that a sector rotation that began in July may gain momentum and drive increased volatility for the broad market.
Volatility is the operative word, not a downtrend. Investors should now expect a period of consolidation and sideways movement in the S&P 500 as the market exits one group of trades in favor of another. The consolidation could last for months as it takes four to six fiscal quarters for FOMC policy to fully impact the economy. Between now and then, the S&P 500 will likely move within a trading range, with 5,670 as the peak and the bottom as much as 10% lower.

Now we have a few extra weeks to get positioned before that happens. I believe that money has a natural home. An AI crypto that does what the big AI companies won’t: private, uncensored AI that people and autonomous AI agents already use. | | Get my #1 AI crypto for the Claude IPO. |
