Stocks Soar on Fed Announcement … but Now What?
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.
