Stocks Soar on Fed Announcement … but Now What? August 30, 2021 Big Picture. Big Profits., Wealth Protection
Fed Chairman Powell gave the market exactly what it wanted. Interest rates barely budged. There's no immediate talk of tapering. And everything shot up in response — growth, energy, cyclicals. But does that mean it's time to pile into stocks again? Well, yes and no.
