Fed Rate Cut Boosts Markets: Stocks Rally, Bonds Steady

The Fed’s recent rate cut pushed the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq higher, while Treasuries and oil told a different story. In this Protect Your Assets market briefing, David Hollander explains what the Fed’s decision signals about the labor market, why job trends raise recession concerns, and how AI is reshaping the outlook. He also breaks down what investors should know about bonds now that much of the rally is priced in, and how to approach equities at record highs.

Cooling Job Openings, Falling Yields, and a Likely Fed Cut

This week’s briefing covers a softer labor market, declining Treasury yields, and why the Fed is widely expected to cut rates on September 17. We dig into what fewer job openings could mean for growth, how lower borrowing costs may affect mortgages and corporate activity, and where crude oil might find support after recent weakness. We also preview next week’s CPI and PPI releases, discuss why inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, and outline positioning ideas for a volatile September–October stretch. Plus, sectors we currently favor—financials and health care—and a reminder to use pullbacks to rebalance toward quality.
