well hasn't the Fed already cut rates several times in 2019?
aside from stopping balance sheet reduction which they said was on autopilot
this 50bps rate cut was a panic cut
before making decisions they always wait for more data but they didn't wait for data this time
point is they don't have a lot of ammo left
before the 2008 global financial crisis the Fed funds rate was at 5%
they had room to cut
this time they're already close to zero wala pa recession

February is where COVID-19 really took effect on the global economy.
baka this time mag negative rate na din sila tulad ng ECB, BOJ
aside from massive QE
si Trump pa... ibubully niya ang Fed mag negative

Sovereign Bond Yield Collapse Shows the World Is in Crisis Mode
because in fear mode, you no longer care about return on capital
you care about return OF capital (capital preservation)
kumbaga ung 100 invested mo di bale 100 parin mabalik sayo (wala kita) kesa 60 nalang or 40 or 20
kaya ngayon sa govt bonds pumupunta ang pera kasi they're most likely to preserve your capital
kahit 0% interest
kahit negative 0.01 (you get 99 back parin)
see US 10Y yield historical chart... behold
pero corporate bonds...
specially the riskier ones
i wouldn't touch
pag humina ang economy mahirapan sila mag bayad ng utang
