30/10/25 - US Markets Wrap: US Fed cuts rate and turns cautiousThe Fed has begun cutting again, but without the comfort investors expected.

Dan Koh speaks with Ben Emons, Chief Investment Officer at Fed Watch Advisors, about what the Fed’s shift in tone really means, how the end of quantitative tightening could reshape liquidity, and whether markets are due for a healthy pullback after months of record highs.
