Quick Glance: Market Moves: Fed Minutes Indicate Rate Cut Ahead
- On August 20, 2024, stock markets experienced an upswing as minutes from the Federal Reserve and a revision of payroll figures fueled expectations for a rate cut. The S&P 500 increased by 0.42%, nearing a record high, while the Nasdaq Composite rose by 0.57%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw a slight gain. Concurrently, the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds fell, and U.S. oil prices dropped by 1.7% to below $72 a barrel.
- The minutes from the Fed's July meeting suggested that a rate cut in September was likely. The majority of members agreed that easing monetary policy would be appropriate if economic data continued to meet expectations. Markets were already pricing in a September rate cut, with some officials advocating for immediate easing due to progress on inflation and unemployment rates.
