Investors had expected a volatile market after the Fed's sharp rate cut, but instead saw a calm market. But such tranquility may quickly dissipate.
"I don't think this calm will last long," said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management, noting that the stock market reversal in the evening may indicate that the stock market is expected to be weak "unless we get some data that can give a clear sense of direction." Jacobsen said the market will focus on upcoming data, such as initial jobless claims on Thursday. Jacobsen said: "The Fed is clearly in a lagging catch-up mode and trying to make up for lost time with the rate cut that was just implemented." (Jinshi)
