[U.S. Treasury yields fall after the Fed announced its first rate cut] (1) U.S. Treasury yields fell after the Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates for the first time in nine months. As investors bet that lower interest rates would solve all problems (i.e., they believed that low interest rates would have a positive effect), the 10-year Treasury yield briefly fell below 4.0%. (2) U.S. Treasury yields fell after the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut interest rates for the first time since December last year. This move prompted a broad market shift to risky assets, with investors expecting lower interest rates to help support the U.S. economy, especially the struggling labor market, leading to further declines in Treasury yields. (3) The Fed's Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) showed that most Fed policymakers expected two more rate cuts in the remainder of the year, which was consistent with the forecast of the interest rate market.

[US Stock Market Volatility After Fed Rate Cut] The stock market rebounded immediately after the Fed's rate cut, but subsequently gave up those gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.8%, or 380 points, while the S&P 500 briefly turned positive following the rate cut decision but is now falling again. The Nasdaq Composite Index remained lower on the day. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the first rate cut in nine months. Fed officials believe that recent labor market weakness outweighs recent inflationary headwinds. The Federal Open Market Committee collectively and tentatively projects two more 25 basis point rate cuts for the rest of the year, indicating that the central bank is prepared to cut back-to-back rates at its final two scheduled meetings. Market expectations that the central bank will further lower borrowing costs to bolster the labor market have driven US stocks to record highs.
