Fed rate cut decision risks investor 'angst' — here's what strategists are saying

Given the potential for increased market volatility amidst concerns over interest rate decisions, sectors that are typically sensitive to rate changes, such as financials and technology, may face headwinds. However, certain defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples may benefit from a flight to safety during uncertain times.

Healthcare stocks tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes and thus may hold steady or even increase in value as investors seek stability. Stronger fundamentals in the sector might buoy it amid broader market uncertainty.
