Moody’s Warns: Rate Cuts Don’t Mean the Economy Is Strong

Moody’s chief economist is striking a cautious tone on the outlook for U.S. monetary policy. Yes, interest rate cuts are increasingly expected next year — but Moody’s makes it clear this shouldn’t be mistaken for economic strength. The underlying message is that the economy remains fragile, not resilient.

According to Moody’s view, even if the Federal Reserve begins cutting rates in 2026, the process is likely to be slow and measured. This would not be a return to aggressive easing, but rather a response to persistent economic softness. Policymakers appear focused on avoiding mistakes, not stimulating rapid growth.

Labor market data reinforces this caution. Recent figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show only modest job creation, with employment gains remaining weak and little overall progress compared to earlier in the year. That kind of stagnation suggests the Fed may ease policy out of necessity, not confidence.

For markets, this matters. Rate cuts driven by economic fragility tend to support defensive positioning rather than aggressive risk-taking. Liquidity may improve, but volatility and uncertainty are likely to remain elevated. Expectations should stay grounded, and risk management remains essential.

upcoming rate cuts, if they arrive, are more about protecting a delicate economy than signaling a strong rebound.

🇺🇸 US Treasury Sec: “I don’t really trust Moody’s.”

On May 18, when asked about the downgrade of US credit rating, Secretary Wally Adeyemo casually replied:

👉 “I don’t really trust Moody’s.”

📉 Moody’s cut the US sovereign credit rating from Aaa → Aa1, citing rising debt, soaring interest costs, and projected deficits nearing 9% of GDP by 2035.

📌 It’s the first downgrade by Moody’s since 1917, and the last AAA from major agencies is gone.

🧨 Debt keeps climbing. What’s scarier than a downgrade? No one caring anymore.
