Remember when the Federal Reserve hit the brakes during Trump's first term? Back then, as soon as interest rate hikes paused, the market was like it had been injected with adrenaline. The current question is—if a hefty rate cut really happens in 2026, what will happen?



The US dollar will probably have to soften first, and US stocks might surge again. But don’t celebrate too early; this old friend of inflation could come knocking on the door again. The most paradoxical part is this: corporate financing costs have come down, money is easier to borrow, and expansion has become easier. But debt, this thing, accumulates faster than building blocks.

Is this really a miracle cure that prolongs the economy’s life, or is it a slow poison that quenches thirst with poison? Honestly, it all depends on how accurately this shot is administered and whether the timing is right. The market is now just waiting to see how this show unfolds.

The rate cuts are here, and so are the debts. When will this cycle ever end?

When interest rates are cut, debt skyrockets; I'm tired of this routine It's the same old trick, rescuing the market until the end, it's all debt If they really start easing in 2026, I bet five dollars that inflation will still come back I'm just worried that retail investors will still be the ones to take the fall in the end

Interest rate cuts are coming, and debt is piling up. This tactic is getting so old.

When interest rates are cut, debt soars. This trick is really just old wine in a new bottle.
