The Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points has fueled a market rally, but investors are left wondering about the long-term impact of this dovish shift. While the near-term outlook appears constructive, with cyclical sectors expected to outperform, concerns remain about whether the rate cuts were timely enough to prevent an economic slowdown.
