Zhang Financial Podcast

In this week's Zhang Financial Market Outlook, Rob outlines a week that, while not containing much economic news, saw an expected interest rate cut of 0.25% by the Federal Reserve. However, the decision to cut rates was not unanimous, with various Fed voices arguing for both steeper cuts as well as no cut at all. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, dragged down by growth stocks (the NASDAQ alone was down 1.6%).
