Hartnett, a well-known strategist at Bank of America, pointed out that the current market reaction to the Fed's 50 basis point rate cut seems to be following the playbook of "soft rate cuts" or "panic rate cuts". US stocks and credit markets are digesting the expectation of a 250 basis point Fed rate cut by the end of 2025 and an 18% increase in S & P 500 earnings. "Risk is not much better, so investors are forced to chase" the rally, and "bubble risk" is returning. For this madness...
