That decision was the treat. Markets responded accordingly, with stock markets rising. The trick, however, was in the implication—of the statement and the press conference—that this would be the last cut unless the economy deteriorated further. The implied probability of a December rate cut dropped to 22 percent, the dollar index dropped, and the rate on the 10-year Treasury declined. The Fed giveth and the Fed taketh away. ##### The sweet spot Looking at the Fed’s decision in the context of yesterday’s post, where we concluded that [the economy](https://blog.commonwealth.com/independent-market-observer/the-big-picture-on-the-economy) is slowing but still growing, it makes quite a bit of sense. The Fed sees the concerns out there—the trade war, slowing job growth, and uncertainty around the impeachment process and the pending election—and is willing to put in another cut to help cushion the economy from those risks. The Fed also, however, sees the underlying economy as solid (slowing but still growing) and not in need of much, if any, additional stimulus. This context is the sweet spot take on the Fed’s decision yesterday. The good news is that markets seem to have largely bought into it. ##### The good place? In addition to Halloween, October is scary for other reasons, particularly in what tends to happen to markets. September and October have historically been tough months. But the end of the year, which we are just entering, has generally been much more positive. By getting through the difficult months, and doing so with a market-endorsed Fed position that things are basically okay, we could be in a good place for the rest of the year. The corporate fundamentals also support this idea. Earnings for the third quarter are coming in well above expectations, as I expected, and earnings growth should improve significantly over the next couple of quarters. With earnings growth improving and interest rates still low, the underlying trend of stock prices could well remain positive, as the recent record closes show. ##### Not out of the woods This positive news doesn’t mean we are out of the woods, of course. With the impeachment process now underway and with the election pending, political uncertainty will become a growing headwind. The economy is growing, if slowing. But if the slowing continues? The growing might well stop. Even given these risks, however, the Fed’s treat of lower rates will likely mitigate them. We will still need to watch the risks, however, and react appropriately. A cautiously optimistic stance in no way eliminates that need. We should remain focused on the risks even as we take advantage of the opportunities created by the likely continuation of the slow growth trend. That’s the trick. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Subscribe via Email ![TMO_IMO_615x408_sidebar](https://blog.commonwealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TMO_IMO_615x408_sidebar.png?width=1033&height=686&name=TMO_IMO_615x408_sidebar.png "TMO_IMO_615x408_sidebar") [Episode 20](https://vimeo.com/1201911815/0f4f028be9?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci) June 17, 2026 [Episode 19](https://vimeo.com/1191658257/1b43ce84dd?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci) May 13, 2026 [Episode 18](https://vimeo.com/1183174918/e227cf7d80?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci) April 15, 2026 [Episode 17](https://vimeo.com/1174554734/636f0f7aba?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci) March 18, 2026 [Episode 16](https://vimeo.com/1163757312/bc2f802d74?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci) February 11, 2026 [More](https://learn.commonwealth.com/monthly-media-placements) [![Insights_CTA_IMO_233x400-1](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/295024/interactive-187935228457.png)](https://blog.commonwealth.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLK4pp1Cy0TW0YR6vODu1kzFlcrokrKDmqkIHgp2P6exygFA0QlHVGv873cDXza3TL%2FrRtMGgg65UD%2BnKAgBjFGmi3vfNKtOHNIW3oVTeLtCtrNvxgQ7WbSL2ek4%2Fm3rVzlhLbttntxIv64TDogw37Nq%2FpD9xZEv6Z4V%2Bw0YGtAWZMnGX0CXvKc%3D&webInteractiveContentId=187935228457&portalId=295024) ### Hot Topics Select Category Ask Brad Commentary Economic Risk Factor Updates Economics Lessons Market Thoughts Videos In the News Investing Market Updates On My Bookshelf Politics and the Economy [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/295024/5f46d9ce-4d40-495c-a126-d4502b647bbf.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/295024/5f46d9ce-4d40-495c-a126-d4502b647bbf) ### Archives -

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks. All indices are unmanaged and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) Index is a free float‐adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index consists of 21 developed market country indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is computed by summing the prices of the stocks of 30 large companies and then dividing that total by an adjusted value, one which has been adjusted over the years to account for the effects of stock splits on the prices of the 30 companies. Dividends are reinvested to reflect the actual performance of the underlying securities. The Russell 2000 is a market-capitalization weighted index, with dividends reinvested, that consists of the 2,000 smallest companies within the Russell 3000 Index. It is often used to track the performance of U.S. small market capitalization stocks. One basis point (bp) is equal to 1/100th of 1 percent, or 0.01 percent. The VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) measures the market’s expectation of 30-day volatility across a wide range of S&P 500 options. The forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio divides the current share price of the index by its estimated future earnings. Third-party links are provided to you as a courtesy.
