Moreover, President Donald Trump has also been pressuring the Fed to cut rates as soon as possible, urging Jerome Powell to lower the rates at the earliest.
“There’s an 80% probability of an interest rate cut from Jerome Powell next month, but he should cut by more than just 0.25%. Why? Since President Trump took office, inflation has annualized at just 1.9%. When @Pulte says that the Fed is hallucinating about the data, he’s right.”

Which Assets May Fly or Tank Once Interest Rates Are Cut
Once the interest rate cuts are announced, or perhaps have been lowered to stabilize the US economy, the assets that may surge tremendously include:
- Gold
- Silver
- Growth Stocks
- Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum
When interest rate cuts are announced, especially when they are lower than their current metric, it makes USD-backed assets appear non-lucrative in the long run. This process is pivotal for investor sentiment towards safe haven assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and growth stocks, helping their price surge in the process.
The assets that may tank once the interest rates are lowered include:
- US dollar (DXY)
- Bank stocks (XLF)
- Short-duration treasuries
- Energy sector oil and gas
The rate cuts, when lowered, impact the overall economic progress narrative. This may take a toll on the US dollar’s value, which may manifest in the form of low DXY index projections, pushing the investor volume towards non-USD-backed assets.
