U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just made it clear: the administration is pushing hard for lower interest rates, and they're betting it'll be the catalyst for stronger economic growth ahead.



The message is straightforward—don't drag your feet on this. Lower rates typically mean easier access to capital, increased liquidity in markets, and potentially higher asset valuations across the board. For anyone tracking markets, this kind of policy shift ripples everywhere, from traditional stocks to alternative assets.

Economic policy moves like this tend to create market conditions that affect everything. When capital becomes cheaper and more abundant, investor appetite for risk assets often increases. It's the kind of macro backdrop that reshapes market dynamics in the months to come.

So what does this mean? Keep an eye on how Fed decisions unfold. Policy direction on rates remains one of the biggest variables driving market sentiment and investor behavior right now.

Is there another rate cut expectation? How many times have I been fooled by this rhetoric... --- Abundant liquidity = asset bubbles. Who believes this logic and gets chopped up? --- Wait, so now they want both rate cuts and stable growth? Is the central bank performing magic? --- Listening to this, it feels like a wave of cuts is coming. The pattern has always been the same in history. --- Wake up, cheap capital has never flowed into retail investors like us. --- In a rate-cut environment, the first to rise are always large assets, and the middle class is being diluted very quickly. --- This set of rhetoric has been repeated three times. I believed it last time and now I’m at a loss. --- So is it better to buy the dip or sell at the top... Truly a Schrödinger’s market.

The expectation of rate cuts is so strong, it feels like another round of asset speculation is coming... --- Got it, it's the old trick of easing liquidity to stimulate the market. Is it time to buy the dip again? --- Wait, will they really cut rates at this pace? I always feel like they might change their mind... --- Capital is cheap, risk assets are狂欢, the底层韭菜 still can't be fully harvested. --- So, is this hinting that we should all in on risk assets? I'm a bit tempted but also a bit hesitant. --- Stop talking nonsense, you said the same last time, and look what happened? --- Interest rate policy is the real game rule maker; we're all playing the game it sets. --- Sounds good, but the question is, when will it really start moving? Can't wait anymore.

Another rate cut expectation is coming again. Every time, they say it's a catalyst, but what’s the result? Capital becomes abundant but instead flows to big tech giants, while small investors still get cut. Listening to Bessent brag, I knew there must be a trick behind it—first pushing up asset prices, then slowly harvesting. Cutting interest rates is easy, but the question is, where does the liquidity go? Does it really flow into the real economy? Or does it continue to inflate virtual assets? Is this round coming? It feels like those who get on board before the Fed’s real move will all be trapped. Basically, they just want to stimulate risk assets. Don’t be fooled by this rhetoric.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is back again. How many times have we seen this trick before... Will it really save the economy or will we end up paying the price of inflation again? Wait, does abundant liquidity necessarily lead to higher asset prices? It just feels like they say this every time. If the Fed really takes action this time, it will be interesting to see who’s positions remain steady. Speaking of which, retail investors following the trend into risky assets often end up being the ones to take the fall... Never mind. The US is playing the money game again.

Here comes the same old trick of cutting leeks again, how many years has the expectation of interest rate cuts been played out? --- Bessent is probably paving the way for his own portfolio, but in the end, retail investors still end up holding the bag. --- Interest rate cuts = liquidity flooding = crypto prices surge = I should sell again. --- Wait, is this time really a rate cut or just another pie in the sky? They said the same last time. --- Cheap capital first attracts institutions; let's wait for the trend to turn before moving. --- It feels like the next bubble is about to inflate again; I need to prepare some shorting tools. --- Macro environmentalists warn: this logic is always the same, and it always ends in an explosion.
