The Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut and end of quantitative tightening have set the stage for a potential year-end rally. With lower rates, stronger liquidity, and AI-driven profitability, the S&P 500 could reach 7,500 as technology, real estate, and financials lead the next leg higher.

The Federal Reserve has decided to hold interest rates steady—for now. With unemployment low, inflation still near target, and concerns about financial stability, the Fed is balancing risks vs reward. While some market players expect cuts, this move highlights the importance of maintaining diversified portfolios and staying ready for whatever monetary policy comes next.
