The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England has exposed a reality — the global economy is undergoing a collective shift in direction. Moving from combating inflation to addressing sluggish growth. This is not an isolated decision by a single central bank, but a new phase that major central banks around the world are collectively stepping into. The various guesses about the pace of rate cuts in the market actually reflect extreme uncertainty about the outlook. Between inflation and recession, central banks are walking a tightrope. Yuxin predicts "four rate cuts," which sounds very determined, but from another perspective, it also indicates that the potential risks to the economy might be deeper than we see. For ordinary people like us, this change is very real. Mortgage pressures may ease, but deposit interest rates will continue to shrink, and the money in our hands needs to find a place — possibly flowing into stocks, funds, or other risky assets. There is also a more practical issue: rate cuts and environmental policies may reinforce the feeling of economic weakness, directly affecting people's consumption and employment confidence. We seem to be entering a "new normal" phase — moderate but unstable growth, with policies swinging between easing and tightening. This requires us to learn "resilient survival": keep financial flexibility and avoid putting all chips on one trend. More money flowing is good, but liquidity cannot solve fundamental problems. The real test is how, within the breathing room provided by rate cuts, we prepare for larger economic shifts. Instead of fixating on interest rate figures, it’s better to use this chaotic cycle of transition to rethink our value positioning and direction.

Interest rate cuts are here, but this isn't good news... To put it bluntly, the economy is struggling a bit, and the Central Banks are just pretending to be in control.

Lower interest rates are here, deposits shrink, mortgage payments ease, but there's nowhere to put the money—that's the reality.

The interest rate cut wave is here. It seems like good news, but it's actually a hint that the economy is holding up... The coins in your hands still need to diversify risk; don't all-in on a single narrative.

Four interest rate cuts? That sounds more like the central bank is backing down. Only when the economy's foundation is rotten would they be so desperate.

Interest rate cuts are here, but what's so good about that? Honestly, it just means the economy has no hope.

Four rate cuts? That's hilarious. Is the central bank backing down or trying to rescue the market? I just can't understand.
---
Mortgage rates have loosened, but deposit interest has disappeared. Do you really think this deal is profitable or not?
---
It's really "resilient survival." It sounds quite inspiring, but in reality, there's no way out.
---
Where to put your money is the real key—don't tell me about value positioning.
---
Global central banks are all moving towards rate cuts, feeling like they're dancing on the edge of a cliff.
---
Instead of guessing what the central bank will do next, think about how to preserve the value of your own coins.
---
Moderate growth but unstable? That's just no growth at all. That phrase sounds so shallow.
---
Liquidity is everywhere, but the economic fundamentals haven't improved. In the end, it's like drinking poison to quench thirst.

The economic upheaval is coming. As small retail investors, we should just be honest and diversify our risks.
