Market Reactions to Economic Data: The stock market has experienced volatility due to economic slowdown concerns, but optimism arose from Fed minutes suggesting a potential rate cut in September if inflation cools. Key sectors like real estate and utilities have rallied as they stand to benefit significantly from lower interest rates.
Impact of Rate Cuts on Sectors: High-dividend-yield sectors such as utilities and real estate are expected to gain the most from rate cuts, enhancing borrowing conditions for businesses and stimulating consumer spending. Additionally, foreign capital inflows into emerging markets like India may increase, while gold's attractiveness is likely to rise with lower interest rates.
