There was a time when central banks cut rates exclusively to stimulate economies during downturns. Now? We're seeing rate reductions amid bull markets and green candles—a signal inversion that historically precedes asset bubbles rather than genuine prosperity.
Lowering borrowing costs when markets are already rallying doesn't create wealth; it inflates asset valuations and encourages excessive leverage. The disconnect between stimulus measures and economic fundamentals grows wider each cycle.
Still, if policy keeps flooding liquidity into markets, portfolio holders aren't exactly complaining. The contradiction is real though: policy designed to prevent crises increasingly seems to be engineering them.

Once again, the same old trick: cutting interest rates during a bull market, with illogical reasoning... Can the asset bubble really not be blown up this time?

Coming back with this again? Cutting interest rates should have been to save the economy, but now during a bull market they're still cutting. Isn't this just blowing bubbles?

ngl this is a classic case of drinking poison to quench thirst... The central bank is now giving the market morphine, and once addicted, you simply can't stop.

ngl, the liquidity transmutation cycle we're witnessing is basically financial alchemy gone rogue—central banks thinking they're the philosopher's stone when really they're just inflating the bubble's valuation mechanics...

Is the bull market still cutting interest rates? Isn't this just blowing up the bubble? As a seasoned trader, I've seen too many tricks like this.

Honestly, this is just digging a pit for the newbies.
