Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Ken Fisher, reviews how Fed policy affects markets and the economy. Contrary to popular opinion, Ken doesn’t believe stocks need rate cuts to rise this year. He says the economy and stocks have done fine even amid rate hikes in recent years. According to Ken, Fed policy changes are widely discussed and consequently, already priced into markets.

Michael Hanson, Senior Vice President of Research at Fisher Investments, adds that investors tend to overrate the impact of Fed policy. He explains that interest rate changes are just one part of a large, complex global economy with many inputs. Michael cites US housing an example of the broader economy's resilience. He explains that new housing starts have declined more in recent years than in 2008 and 2009, as mortgage rates rose. However, he says US economic growth accelerated at the end of last year—evidence no single variable drives the economy.
