The recent economic data from the US is really hard to describe.
Look, when the economic environment deteriorates, companies can’t hold on and start laying off employees. Once people lose their jobs and have no money in their pockets, who dares to go out and spend? As market consumption shrinks, corporate revenues take an even bigger hit, leading to another wave of layoffs... This is a classic vicious cycle.
To put it simply, the persistently high unemployment rate is dragging the entire economy into the mud. The Federal Reserve doesn’t have many options right now; all it can do is cut interest rates as a shot in the arm, hoping to stimulate economic vitality. After all, only when companies have room for profit will they be willing to hire more people to get the work done😂
However, this round of data exceeding expectations has given the market a bit of a boost. Now it just depends on whether the subsequent policies can truly be effective.

Will interest rate cuts save the economy? Sounds good, but the real question is whether companies actually give employees raises when they save money.

The Federal Reserve is about to loosen monetary policy again. When that happens, the crypto market will take off, but we need to be careful not to become the bagholders.
---
High unemployment and shrinking consumption—no one can save this cycle unless money is directly sent to the lower classes.
---
Data exceeding expectations? I think the Federal Reserve is just creating expectations to make the market self-illusion.
---
The funniest part is that when interest rate cuts actually happen, the money flows into asset prices, and workers see not a penny of it.
---
A wave of layoffs is coming. Only true bravehearts still dare to spend now. I’m too scared.
---
Instead of waiting for policies to take effect, better to buy and hold Bitcoin. At least when inflation hits, you can resist it.
---
Round after round of "boosting confidence," but the economy shows no vitality; my wallet, however, is the first to suffer.
---
Exceeding expectations is pointless; unemployed people are still unemployed. Someone has to pay this bill.

Can interest rate cuts really save the situation? It feels like drinking poison to quench thirst.

The Fed's approach is really just drinking poison to quench thirst. How many times can rate cuts actually save the situation? In the end, it still depends on real corporate profits; otherwise, the wave of layoffs won't stop.

Even rate cuts can't really save anything; in the end, someone has to be willing to spend money for businesses to survive.
Waves of layoffs keep coming, so how can the unemployed possibly have any desire to consume? This vicious cycle needs to be broken.
Data exceeding expectations? Uh... the indexes have been pushed up, but underlying employment is bleak—it all feels a bit hollow.
The Fed is pumping liquidity so aggressively, but it just feels like they're delaying the problem. At its core, it's still an issue with the industrial structure.
Honestly, it all comes down to whether policies can genuinely support any industries. Otherwise, no matter how much money they print, it won't help.

Cutting interest rates can't fix the unemployment problem; it still depends on whether companies are truly willing to hire.

Can interest rate cuts save the market? It just feels like a temporary fix that doesn't address the root cause. Figuring out how to fundamentally solve the unemployment rate should be the real priority.

The talk about rate cuts acting as a shot in the arm is old news. The real problem is that those big company CEOs are just unwilling to sacrifice their profit margins.

The whole US economic system... to put it bluntly, it's just a vicious cycle: layoffs → no money → no spending → companies suffer even more.
Can the Fed cutting interest rates really save the day? I doubt it.
