Fed Signals Rate Cuts, Analysts Predict 15.6% Gains for Stocks and Crypto Markets

Analysts are anticipating a resurgence in cryptocurrency markets as the Federal Reserve signals potential interest rate cuts. Historical data over the past 70 years indicates that large-cap and small-cap stocks typically see significant gains following the first rate cut, with average returns of 15.6% and 26.6%, respectively, within 12 months. In the initial six months after a rate cut, large-cap stocks have averaged a 9.4% increase. Wells Fargo has suggested that large-cap bank stocks may also benefit in the first three months following these cuts. However, some market observers caution that while rate cuts are generally expected to bolster markets, historical trends, such as those observed in 2001, show that volatility may increase and recovery could be short-lived, followed by prolonged downturns.
