Fed doesn't want to get the market more addicted to rate cuts in the future: Scott Martin | Fox Business Video
In a discussion about current U.S. markets and interest rates, Scott Martin from Kingsview Wealth Management highlighted that the Federal Reserve aims to avoid creating a dependence on frequent rate cuts. He indicated that while the market is reaching record levels, investor caution is key. The Fed's strategy seems to focus on maintaining stability rather than encouraging a binge of rate decreases that could lead to market volatility in the future.
