YES, The Fed Has Cut Rates Near All-Time Highs Before… and Markets Loved It
New data shows that when the Fed cuts rates while the S&P 500 is within 2% of an ATH, markets usually keep climbing:
• Next 3 months: 77% of the time positive
• Next 6 months: 73% positive
• Next 12 months: 100% positive
• Average 1-year return: +13.9%
History says simple
Rate cuts near highs don’t kill the bull they often extend it.
