Resilience in motion: The U.S. economy holds steady amid rate cuts

Against a backdrop of weak job numbers and ongoing uncertainty, the U.S. economy continues to outperform expectations.

While the Fed‘s recent rate cut signaled caution, underlying indicators tell a more balanced story — steady household spending, rising investment, and record-high markets all point to a resilient economic core.

Even with slower employment growth, shifting demographics and migration trends mean the labor market may be healthier than it looks on paper.

In short: America’s fundamentals remain sturdy, and the Fed’s easing could extend the current momentum — provided policy and politics stay in sync.
