Rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have sparked predictions of a "new bull market" for US stocks.

Last Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivered a dovish speech at the Jackson Hole global central bank annual meeting. Wall Street strategists believe that this stance opens up opportunities for a "new bull market" in US stocks.

In a recent interview with the media, veteran Wall Street insider Jim Paulsen stated that once the Federal Reserve explicitly signals its intention to cut rates, the U.S. stock market might witness "a brand new bull market."

"The Federal Reserve has injected a positive momentum into the stock market that it hasn't seen before," Paulsen said.

Paulsen, who served as a strategist and economist at financial institutions like Wells Fargo, ended his 40-year career on Wall Street in 2022 and now writes a blog titled "Paulsen's Perspective" on Substack.

Paulsen pointed out: "This is the only time since the post-war period that the Federal Reserve has been tightening monetary policy during an entire bull market. Typically, the Fed loosens policy before a bull market starts. Therefore, this Fed move is essentially reopening the door to a bull market." He further explained that the positive signals from the Federal Reserve include falling interest rates and bond yields, as well as an accelerated money supply, which have been lacking since the bull market started in October 2022.

These factors, combined with positive GDP growth and sustained anti-inflation measures, should help boost confidence among businesses and consumers.

"If you combine all these factors, private sector confidence will improve. I believe that consumer and business confidence will be strengthened, feeling like a brand new bull market is coming," Paulsen added, noting that this typically occurs before a broad market rise.

Paulsen's optimistic outlook for the stock market aligns with his view that the economy is unlikely to enter a recession anytime soon. He cited strong consumer and corporate balance sheets and the $6 trillion in money market funds as reasons for his positive outlook on the market.

Looking ahead, Paulsen stated that whether the Federal Reserve cuts rates by 25 basis points or 50 basis points at its September FOMC meeting is not important; what matters is that policymakers will implement a rate cut.

"The key is not whether the Fed cuts rates by 25 or 50 basis points, but its resolve to ease monetary policy. This policy shift will provide new support for the stock market, and I believe this support will extend into next year," Paulsen concluded.
