Why the Fed can't cut rates too soon: Allan Boomer

The Fed's cautious approach to cutting rates suggests that they are likely to maintain higher rates for longer. This could have a negative impact on sectors sensitive to interest rates, such as real estate and utilities, as higher borrowing costs may dampen demand. It suggests that investors should be wary of investing in these sectors at this time. However, sectors such as financials, which benefit from higher interest rates, may see positive momentum.

The expectation of stable or increased interest rates could lead to a negative outlook for growth stocks, which tend to perform poorly in higher rate environments. This could hurt tech stocks as investors shift preference to more value-oriented investments. Investors should consider reducing exposure to high-growth tech stocks in their portfolios.
