The case for a melt-up in markets - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

The long-run rate projections released at the time of the monetary policy decision suggest policymakers still expect to cut rates a fair amount further, in turn suggesting they know they still have half a foot on the brakes.

As Ian Harnett and David Bowers there note, US corporate debt defaults appear to have already peaked — an outcome, if proved, that would be “a tremendously positive result for the Fed, the US economy, and US equity and credit investors”.

The biggest risk now might be that the US and global outlook is sufficiently robust that the expected rate cuts that are underpinning at least some market gains are not needed after all.
