Global central banks have delivered an unusually aggressive wave of rate cuts, with more than 300 cuts in a single cycle, even as global growth remains positive and equity markets trade near record highs. This video breaks down why central banks, led by the U.S. Federal Reserve, are easing policy outside of a recession and what it could mean for markets.
We explore rising U.S. unemployment, contrasting signals from jobless claims, and shifting credit conditions to assess whether the economy is heading toward a soft landing or a delayed downturn. By comparing today’s environment with past cycles such as 1995, 2001, and 2008, the analysis highlights the key indicators investors should be watching, including labor market dynamics and bank lending standards.
