Hey, Ross here:
As expected, the Fed cut rates by a quarter point yesterday.
Some may say this is “too slow”.
And while I can understand why, the data shows that in this case, slower may be better.
Chart of the Day
This chart shows how the S&P 500 index has responded during previous Fed cycles.
As you can see, cycles where the Fed has cut slowly and gradually have historically led to the best subsequent performance of the index.
And the size of this outperformance, as evident from the chart, is significant.
The Fed may have kicked off its rate cut cycle with a “jumbo” rate cut…
But based on yesterday’s meeting and press conference, it seems likely they’re going to be proceeding at a much more measured pace.
The data shows that this is a good thing.
Stay in the game.
Insight of the Day
There is still huge amounts of cash on the sidelines waiting to come in.
There’s still over $6.5 trillion in cash parked on the sidelines in money market funds.
That’s right, even with the stock market runup, the value of cash on the sidelines has actually increased.
How is that possible?
Well, this $6.5 trillion figure only covers what we can measure based on money market fund data.
But there’s still likely a lot more stashed in places that don’t get publicly measured.
Basically, a lot of traders vastly underestimate just how much money there is sloshing around out there.
This is the fuel for the next leg up of the bull market – and the match has already been lit.
