Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A pause after hikes reduces near-term rate-hike risk, which typically supports risk assets. Historically, pauses or end-of-tightening signals have preceded short-term S&P 500 rallies as discount rates stabilize and valuation multiples re-rate higher. For example, prior cycles showed equities rallying in the weeks following tangible shifts toward restrictive policy peaking, provided inflation remains contained.
