STORY: Wall Street’s main indexes rallied on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve signaled it was on track to cut interest rates three times by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n
The Dow gained 1%, the S&P 500 added nine-tenths of a percent and the Nasdaq climbed one-and-a-quarter percent.<\/p>\n
While the Fed policy statement described inflation as remaining \u201celevated,\u201d it raised growth projections for the economy, and anticipated the unemployment rate for the year would come in lower than expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe general take away from the Fed today is they’ve taken recession risk off the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
Loreen Gilbert, CEO of WealthWise Financial Services, says that fading recession fears have prompted her to shift from defensive to growth stocks in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think it does cause us to relook and say if the if the GDP is going to continue to be strong, unemployment is low and the Federal Reserve is going to lower rates this year, most likely three times, that’s all positive for a growth environment in the markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
