Harris-Trump Debate: What Investors Should Watch
Harris-Trump Debate and Market Reactions
The big event for markets next week is the Federal Reserve's much-anticipated rate cut. Could the cut come up tonight? And how might this Fed move affect the White House race?
Expert Analysis on Interest Rates
An expert from analysis firm BMI tackled the topic recently and played down the extent to which any rate move by the Fed could affect the election’s outcome. “Interest-rate movements typically have a little bit of a long and variable lag,” said Cedric Chehab, global head of country risk at BMI, which is part of the Fitch Group.
Timing of Rate Cuts
“How long and how variable? That depends,” Chehab added. “I don’t think interest-rate cuts in September are going to do a lot to boost the economy over the course of a month and a half or so.” The meeting’s around the 17th, 18th of September, so it’s not going to have a direct impact in that sense.
- Investors should closely monitor the Federal Reserve's announcements.
- The debate could shape future economic and market strategies.
- Rate cuts may have delayed effects on economic growth.
