CNBC: A new survey found 82% of respondents say Trump’s Fed pressure threatens independence.

Markets are bracing for the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut since December, with futures pointing to a quarter-point move next week and more to follow into 2026.

But Citi $C ( ▲ 0.85% ) strategist Scott Chronert cautions that the winners from falling rates depend on what happens next with the economy.

Investors often ask “who benefits?” from lower yields, Chronert wrote. The answer, he said, is “conditional.” A gentler economy supports growth stocks and small caps. A downturn shifts the advantage to defensive names and low-beta stocks that trade with less volatility.

The bank named a couple of specific stocks that have historically benefited from rate cuts: apparel retailer Gap $GAP ( ▼ 5.35% ) and telecom firm EchoStar $SATS ( ▼ 2.98% ).

Gap shares are down about 4% this year, but have rebounded more than 8% in the last month, helped by new initiatives, like a push into beauty.

EchoStar, meanwhile, has soared more than 200% this year. The stock added 150% in the past month alone after agreeing to sell spectrum licenses to SpaceX in a deal valued at around $17 billion.

Citi analyzed past periods of easing to measure how earnings growth responds.

When the yield curve steepens alongside positive economic data, the most rate-sensitive stocks delivered compound annual growth of 14.2% over two years. If the curve steepens but data turns negative, that same basket grew just 6.9% — while the least sensitive stocks gained 18.3%.

“The takeaway here is that the underlying economic condition will matter as to how markets respond to a next wave of Fed rate cuts,” Chronert wrote. “The better the economic backdrop, the more attractive cyclicality and/or longer-duration risk assets become.”
