Following the Fed’s rate cut announcement, U.S. stock markets showed mixed performance: the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 posted modest gains, while the S&P 500 edged down slightly and the Nasdaq slipped more sharply. Early enthusiasm over potential interest rate relief was tempered by caution after Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the recent economic data, especially labor market softness, remains a concern. Markets continue to price in expectations for further cuts this year, but uncertainty over job growth, inflation, and global trade policies is weighing on investor sentiment. Year-to-date gains remain pronounced—particularly for tech-heavy indices—but the recent shift underscores rising worries about what lies ahead for corporate earnings and consumer demand.
