Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
U.S. stocks hit record highs this week after the Federal Reserve cut short-term interest rates for the first time since December 2024. Small caps outperformed, with the Russell 2000 up 2.16%, while the Nasdaq gained 2.21%, the S&P 500 rose 1.22%, and the Dow added 1.05%.
The Fed announced a 25-basis-point rate cut, citing slower job gains and rising employment risks. Most policymakers signaled expectations for an additional 50 basis points of easing this year, with further cuts likely in 2026 and 2027. Retail sales beat forecasts with a 0.6% gain in August, but housing market data disappointed, with starts down 8.5% and builder sentiment flat, though lower mortgage rates improved sales expectations.
Treasury yields climbed at the long end of the curve, leading to negative returns for bonds. Traders attributed the move to anticipation of the Fed’s cut and Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish tone after the meeting. Overall, equities rallied on easing hopes, while fixed income markets faced pressure from shifting rate expectations.

The setup is even stronger with the market backdrop. The Fed’s rate cut and overall equity rally give growth and fintech names like SOFI a tailwind. Lower borrowing costs can boost lending and margins, fueling even more optimism. The timing lines up well as small caps and tech are already leading.
My move is straightforward: I’m long SOFI with conviction. I’ll watch volume for confirmation, but if momentum holds, the upside could be explosive. No ceiling in sight — this looks like a pure momentum play, to the moon! 🌕🔥

美聯儲宣佈降息25個基點，理由是就業增長放緩和就業風險上升。大多數政策制定者表示，預計今年將再寬鬆50個基點，並可能在2026年和2027年進一步降息。8月份零售額增長0.6%，超出預期，但房地產市場數據令人失望，開工量下降8.5%，建築商信心持平，儘管抵押貸款利率下降改善了銷售預期。
