SMI rises by 0.3 percent - the US Federal Reserve could cut interest rates, according to financial experts

According to a report by www.cash.ch, the SMI rises by 0.3 percent, which is due to lower interest rate expectations. The Fed is likely to have completed its rate hike cycle and rate cuts could be expected next year due to lower growth and lower inflation.

As a financial expert, I see in this context that the lower interest rate expectations are contributing to a positive mood on the markets. The forecast of interest rate cuts next year could lead to investors increasingly entering the market to take advantage of the lower interest rates. This could lead to rising prices on the stock markets as more favorable financing conditions stimulate demand for investments.

The expectation of interest rate cuts could also have an impact on the foreign exchange market, as a weakened currency could benefit a country's exports. This could have a positive impact on Swiss export companies and strengthen their competitiveness on the international market.

Overall, the development points to a positive trend on the financial markets, which is influenced by lower interest rate expectations and forecasts of interest rate cuts in the coming year. Investors should keep an eye on these developments and adapt their investment strategies accordingly in order to benefit from the opportunities that arise.
