In this MarketBeat video, we dive into the stocks that are poised to benefit from the anticipated rate cut in the coming weeks. Companies most exposed to debt, especially smaller firms reliant on bridge loans and operational funding, are expected to see significant gains. We also explore how sectors like housing and automotive, heavily impacted by high interest rates, could thrive as rates begin to fall. Discover which investments could see a boost and how to position your portfolio for the upcoming economic shift.
