On September 18, the Fed made its first rate cut in over four years. This bold decision reflects the Fed’s growing confidence in a recalibration of the labor market, and the economy continues to show resilience, with macroeconomic data reflecting underlying strength.

Reacting impulsively to short-term market shifts can disrupt a well-planned investment strategy.
