50% of the market is on margin so any cut in interest rates is good for the market.
But you see Ben Bernanke has rules to follow like if the economy is low unemployment rate or inflation is high interes rates must be equal or more than inflation rate.
When interest rates were 1% money in bonds or fixed income funds were forced into hedge funds and stocks buying real estate etc. that yield 6% dividends....
when the money left fixed income investments it drove inflation up for real estate, stock market, and commodities..FED has no choice now but to increase rates..it's lesser of two evils..either you want high growth with high inflation low unemployment and high interest rates. OR low interes rates and high unemployment or recession
