Investing.com -- Recent actions by the Federal Open Market Committee , particularly the decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points, have triggered debate about their broader economic implications.
Yardeni’s comparison to the 1990s is significant. During that period, the U.S. economy experienced low inflation and robust economic growth, creating an environment in which asset prices, particularly stocks, soared. Yardeni suggests that the recent rate cuts, despite an already strong economy, set the stage for a similar trajectory.
The decision to cut rates when unemployment is low and growth is solid carries inherent risks. According to Yardeni, the FOMC’s move could stimulate an economy that does not need further boosting. This policy could push asset prices into overvaluation territory, stretching valuations and increasing macroeconomic volatility.
The surge in liquidity could lead to excessive speculation, particularly in technology and growth stocks, where valuations are already stretched. Analysts flag the potential for higher long-term inflation and volatility as the market digests the consequences of easier monetary policy.
