TORONTO — U.S. markets got a boost from the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate announcement, moving higher in the afternoon while Canadian markets followed suit.
For investors, “there’s a lot to like” in the Fed’s announcement today, said Mike Archibald, vice-president and portfolio manager with AGF Investments Inc. The central bank upgraded its growth outlook, noted Archibald — new projections from the central bank forecast stronger growth and inflation would persist into next year, which is why it expects fewer cuts in 2025.“You’re seeing your risk-on type sectors outperforming,” said Archibald, such as discretionary, communications, services, industrials and financials in the U.S.Cuts are still likely to come mid-year, said Archibald.
